OSCOM's Visual Identity

We were thinking in OSCOM 4 about how to get the different Open Source CMS projects to feel more connected with the OSCOM process. One part of this was to get some link buttons that would make it easier for the projects to link to OSCOM. Marc Infield from Infield Design responded quickly to Gregor's request. Here are his OSCOM...

Minor Midgard Blogging Tool Updates

Categorization works quite simply; the MetaWebLog API connector for the de.linkm.newsticker looks at its schema definition, and if it finds specific field definitions it will enable categorization. The two options here are: Multiple categories per post: "categories" => array ("description" => "Categories","datatype" => "multiselect","location" => "parameter","multiselect_selection_list" => array ("cat1" => "Category 1","cat2" => "Category 2", ), ), Or single category...

OpenPSA Documents supports WebDAV

WebDAV is an HTTP based file transfer protocol supported by most major operating systems and Microsoft Office. WebDAV support now makes OpenPSA Documents a much more useful document repository. The WebDAV server was implemented with the PEAR HTTP_WebDAV_Server package. So far I've only tested it as a network filesystem for Mac OS X and Windows XP and with the Goliath...

Back from the North

Since this was our first hunting trip we concentrated mostly on getting familiar with the forest area and what game can be found there. We slept the night in a Finnish teepee (laavu) with a fire to keep warm. During the reconnaissance trips we saw rabbits, reindeer, swans and several species of arctic birds. I got close enough to try...

Making Open Source Content Management Suck Less

His notion might have backgrounds in only looking at the projects listed on OpenSourceCMS.com, which only lists lightweight, mainly PHP-based content management systems, not any of the heavier-duty ones. However, it is true that most Open Source CMSs are not that good. A major cause for that is duplication of effort. Everybody wants to build their own CMS and not...

A Day in IT Sales

I'm now sitting in an old, creaking commuter train, surrounded by beautiful Finnish autumn colors. Today has been a pretty typical day for me in IT sales, starting with back luck with train schedules that forced me to sit most of the day in this old train instead of the fancier InterCity trains that come with power outlets and cafeterias....

Last day of OSCOM 4

Apart from my own session, I went to see Danese Cooper's session on Corporate Blogging, which focused on how Sun uses blogs and other collaborative tools to aid in a cluetrainish transformation to a more customer focused and open organization. The related policies and success stories were a good starting point for convincing other companies to do the same. The...

Second day of OSCOM 4

After bit of thinking I decided that a session on MidCOM - Midgard's Component Framework for PHP would be a good match for the technical crowd here.Because of this most of my has been spent on setting up latest MidCOM on my iBook, tweaking my South AfricanMidgard training slides in SlideML to fit this conference, and marveling how slow the...

First day of OSCOM 4

This conference is smaller than OSCOM 3 held in Harvard university and in about the same range as OSCOM 2 in Berkeley. However, this just means that this time most people attending are developers instead of end-users, and discussion ranges from interoperability topics to cultural issues. I'm chairing the Apache Track of the event. The first day was mostly Jakarta...
