For Immediate Release
New Delhi September 23rd 2009: India’s largest Open Source unconference – OSSCamp Delhi September 2009 came to a closure on September 6th 2009 at the NSIT Campus in Dwarka, New Delhi. This much talked about, two days event saw more than 225 Open Source developers and enthusiasts come together to brainstorm on the latest Open Source tools and technologies. Number of Social Sandboxes on Open Source technologies and business far outnumbered the twenty scheduled discussions of the unconference.

Declaring the event a great success, Mr. Vineet Agrawal, Sr. Manager, Community and Alliances said, “We were very glad to see a lot of companies tag along and lead sessions on various Open Source technologies. The highlights were sessions on Grails by Intelligrape and on Scala by Xebia. The Scala talk invited the maximum attention from the campers. We were, also, very happy to have Adobe with us at the event who took a session on their RIA Framework – Flex 3.”

For the ever enthusiastic OSSCube employees, those were the days of lot of fun and learning. In house experts led many sessions like implementing Lucene in your Zend projects to securing PHP applications with Phing. There was an interesting talk on indie game development that drew a lot of camper’s attention. Other than these topical discussions, the campers also did a lot of social sandboxes on various concepts and products as well.

“We had a thoroughly enriching experience with our participation at the camp,” said Sonali Minocha, MySQL Consultant, Developer & Trainer with OSSCube Talking more on sharing knowledge with the Open Source community, she added, “We are very excited about the upcoming International PHP Conference 2009 (Nov 15-18). We expect to meet with exciting people and learn great stuff at one of the most exciting conference of the year”. Incidentally, Sonali is Asia’s first Woman Certified MySQL DBA and India’s first MySQL authorized instructor and will lead a session on “MySQL Tuning for DBAs” on the third day of the conference.

Open Source enthusiasts who took part in the unconference were very encouraged to find that more and more companies and experts are finding OSScamps as a reliable platform to talk about technology. The challenge for the organizers now is to not loose focus and not let the event become commercial. So far, the community has successfully kept the events as one of the best platforms for Open Source in the nation, and we believe that they will continue to do so.

The event was co-sponsored by Acquia  and CSI (NSIT). Digimantra sponsored the various events around the camp including an Open Source quiz during the camp. Blogadda and Linux for You were the media partners.

The community is very pleased to announce a follow-up camp being organized by the local community at Chandigarh – OSScamp Chandigarh October 2009. The camp scheduled on October 24, 2009 will be a pivotal event and the first of its kind in Punjab.

For Immidiate Release

Squiz (http://www.squiz.co.uk/mysource-matrix-open-source-cms), developers of the world’s

leading enterprise-class Supported Open Source CMS, MySource Matrix, today announced the

introduction of a brand new, ultra-simple packaging initiative for its web content management

product. The new-look bundling of software components significantly reduces the complexity of

evaluating and acquiring an enterprise web CMS application by making all key MySource Matrix

CMS elements available out of the box (and free of charge) under its primary GPL open source

license.

As part of this new initiative, Squiz has also streamlined its secondary license, the SSV

(Squiz Supported Version). The SSV now groups together all of MySource Matrix’s high-end

application integration tools in one simple package. This redistribution of software elements

is designed to make it easier for customers to choose between the GPL or SSV version of the

product.

The all-new SSV is now more clearly positioned as the package of choice for complex content

management environments that require integration with third party enterprise applications and

web services – such as TRIM document management and Microsoft Sharepoint – and also need the

commercial support benefits of an advanced application warranty from Squiz. This ‘SSV’ suite

of advanced integration tools will be made available at zero cost to customers choosing to

purchase a Squiz SLA to support their MySource Matrix implementation.
