Content Management Matters ™

Squiz is forever telling us what we should do and what we should think: about CMS, about SEO, doing business on the web, about the Four Noble Truths of the Buddha (it's a WIP). Which is quite irritating, because they're invariably just about right.

Sydney- and UK-based Squiz just announced they'll be conducting a demo of MySource Matrix 3.12, their open source CMS solution, at London's Internet World from May 1-3.

If you happen to be in London in the next two weeks, drop by the Adam Street members club for the latest of Squiz's "Best Practice" seminars. On Thursday the 26th the OSS aficionados will be regaling open ears with an exclusive called "How to SEO Like a Pro."

For a small taste of what type of information you may glean, check out our recent article on SEO and CMS deployment best practices.

Squiz recently announced they will be hosting a "best practices" open source CMS seminar for university Webmasters at Oxford’s famous debating society, this month's end. The seminar neatly follows the London-based Web 2.0 series they launched in mid-February.

What's History 2.0? If Web 2.0 is any indication (and yes, we're as tired of pushing the term as you are of reading it), History 2.0 suggests the annals of mankind can be broken open for free perusal, organized as an individual sees fit, and -- dare we say it? -- fair game for revision.

Whether the time for that has come isn't our call to make. But Keesing's World News Archive, a new search and collaboration tool created by the open source and Web 2.0 gurus at Squiz, brings the term devastatingly closer to reality by enabling public-wide search of 76 years of history.
