Annual Conference of Open Source Content Management Systems
On March 21 and 22, 2002, developers of
content management systems from the world over will meet in Zurich
for the first Open Source Content Management Systems Conference.
All participants adhere to the open-source spirit: the source code
and therefore the results of their labor are available for free to
anyone.Low costs and a large degree of vendor independence have led
to a growing share of open-source software in the content
management systems market. Six fully operable programs are already
available on the market: Cofax (US), Midgard (Finland), MMBase
(Netherlands), OpenCms (Germany), Wyona (Switzerland) and Zope
(US). Some of these are used worldwide.On the first day of the conference, each of the six programs
will be presented by their respective developers. On the second
day, three frameworks that are used in conjunction with content
management software will be presented by their respective
(co-)developers, Cocoon, Infozone and Axkit.The event is organized by the
wyona.org Society. The
society's goals are the dissemination of the Wyona CMS and the
promotion of knowledge-sharing between developers of different
open-source content management systems.The conference will be held March 21 and 22, 2002, at the
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. The
conference fee is $ 300 USD, with a reduced fee for students. More
information is available on
the conference web
site or by phone at +41-1-272 91 61.The conference will be mainly a developer's conference, but
all others are very welcome as well.
