I'm really enjoying working with the Monkey, and thought one way I could give something back would be to help out with beta testing. How or where do I sign up? I'm a software developer by profession, so of course I'd be happy to lend a hand out on that side too, but understand completely if you'd rather keep those tasks to yourself.

The beta testing of 3.6 would be particularly relevant, since I'll be using Screen Monkey for the church summer festival July 1st-3rd. It's a big challenge for a small church (media budget last year 80€!), since we invite all the other churches, which means about 4000 people in the main arena. Still, I hear the Monkey likes a challenge, and I know with his help we can pull it off!

Many thanks to the Monkey and his "keeper" Olie! The Summer Festival was a great success, with many people coming up to me to thank me for the background videos used in songs, and to ask what the software was and where could they get it. As I wrote elsewhere, we had a total of four SM PCs on three stages, with something like 12,000 people over the three days and a peak of 6,000 on Saturday. On the two largest stages there wasn't a single problem with Screen Monkey during display - that's one of the things I like most about SM, it's just so stable when being used to display. Building shows has the odd hiccup, and building templates for shows (e.g. Song Display Options) has more, but of course these are used less and problems there are seen only by the SM user, not by the thousands of viewers.

Here's the youth stage with its 3.5m screen, 3500 lumen projector and Screen Monkey on an i3 PC from the church office - all of which we got to use for free! Thanks to everyone for their generosity: Olie, Mika Rautiainen, Matti Vaarula, Jaakko Kujala and Tuomas Airaksinen on the youth stage, and all the others on other stages who volunteered their equipment, time and effort!
