Good news. Is there going to be a Customer Evaluation (CuV) for BI 4.2 like we had for BI 4.1? Where can we sign up?
Hi Derek,
We are not yet even in the phase of planning a CuV.. However my guess is that we will be having one.. as mentioned, If I have more details, I'll be happy to share them. Further updates will be stated in my SCN Blog

Hi,
Currently the maintenance schedules (https://support.sap.com/release-upgrade-maintenance/package-stack-schedules.html) only go up to Q3 2015 for BusinessIntelligence.
Furthermore, nothing is available yet via the support ramp-up page https://support.sap.com/software/rampup.html
I would pencil-in timelines for a validation.. possibly towards the end of 2015 or later.
Regards,

Hi Shakthi,
