If you happen to be at CeBIT (10th-16th March) you should drop by the
AfterMail stand in the New Zealand trade delegation section (Stand B15 in Hall 3) where you'll get to meet their CEO and
.NET blogger Rod Drury.
It's a perfect opportunity for you to learn about
EEI (Enterprise Email Intelligence) from the man who coined the term. Since
AfterMail launched Rod has been helping businesses both large and small tame the complexity of email archiving, changing email from a storage and compliance issue into a corporate asset through intelligent archiving and relational database technologies.
Open source CMS (content management systems) is one of the most interesting spaces to be in right now. Thanks to open source CMS communities across the globe are being enabled and appearing online.
For some years now I've been part of the Rainbow team (no! not the gay movement) who are creators of the .NET open source multi-lingual CMS
Rainbow Portal that has evolved extensively since the early days of IBuySpy.
The project is a great place to learn how to use .NET and get a feel for what it is like to work collaboratively with developers from all around the world.
Our latest build has just gone live with a whole new branding using our Zen skinning engine, developed by Jeremy Esland - it's a great testament to the talent working on the project and the commitment by
Due Metri of Italy to maintain and support this community on an on-going basis - they have kept to their word and soon you'll have the pleasure of using
Rainbow Portal v2 to help you learn about Whidbey - planned for launch later this year at the
Rainbow Fest in Italy.
A big thank you goes to our desginers Anne Panne and Jeremy Esland for their excellent work, to all my colleagues who have and continue to participate on this exciting multi-lingual/cultural project and the
Due Metri team for their support and commitment to our community.
