Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: OpenACS at LinuxWorld NYC 2004

Hi Talli,

I meet the Java Heads at the LinuxWorld in Frankfurt. Object Web is providing a middleware for multiple Java Applications to work on the same framework and they have done some fairly good stuff.

And they have a working consortium, which now even has SuSE as one of it's members, so you might even see more pushing into that direction from one of the largest Linux Distributors out there.

So, it is just one of the projects out there that have a large movement and following behind them, so we should try to position ourselves clearly in the market and try to attract as many new developers and adopters as possible.

Not sure though how we'll do that without proper materials ;). After having the experience at LW in Frankfurt I thought to take the materials that we distributed there and make them more useful for OpenACS and .LRN. Furthermore, as I'm flying to to India, I could check there for a printer and the prices, so we could get materials for OpenACS printed cheaper.

Is this something the community is interested in (getting materials for OpenACS / .LRN for marketing, not company specific) ?
