AFAIU this is how it works:<br>
<br>
* Partner BETA - only those who have a SUSE-internal contact (PTMs, Phil,<br>
etc) and NDA signed could join. And they can access the full set of the<br>
milestones, etc. The SUSE person is their contact and manages all the<br>
communication.<br>
<br>
* Public BETA - anyone from the public can join. Those get only Public<br>
Beta and Public RC images. The Beta Program Manager maintains the<br>
participants and manages the Beta mailing list.<br>
<br>
Our customers like BMW naturally belong to the Public BETA group. The <br>
partners who do not have an assigned contact at SUSE would likely belong <br>
to the Public BETA group.<br>
<br>
Not sure specifically about Veritas, unless they don't fit the above <br>
definition they would belong to the Public BETA group as well (which might <br>
be fine for them).<br>
