Content Management Matters ™

If the Web is really about content, WebEngine is all about allowing content to be found.

Nuxeo, a leading open source ECM vendor, unveiled WebEngine, an open source web framework focused on content. Designed to be lightweight and versatile, WebEngine aims to allow users to quickly build and deliver next generation content-oriented web applications. A generation that is about more than just web publishing.

It's been a little while since Nuxeo released the last version of its Enterprise Content Management Platform: Nuxeo Enterprise Platform 5.1, but they haven't been sitting idle since then.

They have just announced the release of Nuxeo Rich Client Platform (RCP) 2.0, a rich client platform for developing ECM applications.

The arms race between the open source enterprise cms vendors continues as both Alfresco and Nuxeo announce the availability of new versions of their respective offerings.

Much like the warning that you should never buy first generation hardware, it is always safer to wait for the the first point release after a new version becomes available before upgrading. This old saying holds true for Nuxeo with the immediate availability of the newest version of their enterprise content management platform.

Who'd've figured French Enterprise CMS geeks were Elvis fans? Whether intentional or not, Nuxeo pays tribute to the King's hometown with the release of the newest version of their flagship product -- Nuxeo 5.1, codenamed Memphis.

Although slightly behind schedule, Nuxeo is otherwise on-track to deliver the next the full point release of its open source enterprise content management system this week.

The next time you see the phrase "open source" used in association with some software, be advised that you'll need to take that claim with a grain of salt. This was a statement made last November by ZDNet blogger David Berlind.

As the concept of Professional Open Source gains momentum and more vendors jump on this boat, its becoming increasingly important to have some reliable indicators of what a real open source effort looks like.

Jumping channel from FR to UK open source Enterprise CMS vendor Nuxeo has opened its latest foreign office in London.

The company aims to capitalize on the oh so rosy UK ECM market and the large number of energy and financial services companies in the UK, as well as gain some international footing as it pushes further.

Red Herring has announced that Nuxeo, known for their Open Source Enterprise CMS, has received a Red Herring 100 Europe award for being one of the top 100 companies leading the future of technology. The annual awards are bestowed upon the top 100 private technology companies from the EMEA region.

Nuxeo this week has chalked up a significant achievement for their open source ECM project.

Following rather closely to their Oct. 2006 release of Nuxeo Core v1.0, the company has released the first of "stable" (aka "production-ready") version of Nuxeo EP 5.0.

They continue their mission of making the system easy to use and flexible for both contributors and system integrators alike. Their motto is "Not just a product, a platform."
