My goal was to bring them to the Linux geek out at NTC , and have people play with Linux installs on them. It works pretty well (at this moment, I’m now downloading and installing the base system.) My next step, after installing the basic Debian system, is to switch the install to Ubuntu. And, in most situations, it is.

April 15, 2007 At NTC , there was a lot of talk about the “big three&# open source CMS packages that most people these days in our sector are using: Drupal , Plone , and Joomla.

I know that’s one more thing in a long list of considerations (and it’s generally more important to think about for the CRM – the CMS, if it is modern, and especially if it is open source, will provide few barriers to integration.) at 2:36 pm This is actually a topic I’ll be discussing at the NTC this year.

But why not add another channel to the back channel happenings, for instance, at NTC ? IRC has always seemed to me to be one of the best ways to do that, but IRC is, well, passé these days, it seems. Sounds like a reasonable idea. But why don’t I sign up for a Twitter account, and, well, Twitter? Be Helpful.

This is, for sure, one of the most robust open source CMS to CRM integrations out there, and one that seems to be getting pretty close to providing very powerful integration “out-of-the-box&# – instead of having to piece things together and do customized code, which is more common than not. 3 Christopher Johnson 05.05.09

I ran into an old colleague at NTC , and it came up, because he had been thinking of contributing to the journal, but decided that he probably won’t, for reasons I will talk about. Although the Journal was prepared in partnership with NTEN, I take full and personal responsibility for the decision to use a closed license.
