At the JoomlaDay Espain Johan Janssens, the Joomla! Co-Founder and former 1.5 Lead Developer puts out some very important reminders:
“An open source project is about people producing free and open software and contributing to something as a team for the benefit of others.”
“Open source projects reflect the spirit of collaboration and fun while garnering community feedback and providing good governance that allows for business to confidently invest in its development.”
“Open source projects are open to the participation of anybody who can contribute value and is willing to work with the community.”
and my most favorite of all:
“As individuals we’re all pretty good but as a collective, we’re amazing!”
We would like to thank the Nooku and Beyounic teams for presenting the Anahita project at the Joomla Day Italia Rome and Nooku presentation. I must say nothing is more encouraging and energizing to us after long sleepless days of coding when a pack of truly awesome friends and brilliant minds spread the word for us with lots of enthusiasm half way across the planet. Ash and I feel truly blessed, appreciated and fortunate to meet and work with the Nooku (twitter: @nooku) and Beyounic (twitter: @beyounic) teams. Thank you for being so awesome
Anahita Social Engine™ is an open source and architecturally organic platform and framework for developing all kinds of custom social networking solutions. This technology is being developed by rmdStudio Inc. and Peerglobe Technology Inc. using the Nooku Framework agile and RAD technology. Nooku and Beyounic teams are both in the global tribe of Anahita partners and have been great supporters of this project.
We have good news for the MVC crazed web application developers and especially those who use Joomla! not only as a great CMS but also a superb framework for Internet software development.
The long awaited Nooku Framework developed by the father and co-founder of Joomla! CMS Johan Janssens and his uber talented team-mate Mathias Verraes is now available to public on the sourceforge under the GPL license.
This article has already been posted on the Anahitapolis blog, however for many who are still unaware of that website, here is the link. This event was organized by our wonderful friends Boris Mann, Sonia Ryan, and Roland Tanglao from the Bootup Entrepreneurial Society who gave us the spotlight for 30 minutes on July 7th 2009 at the WorkSpace in a room with at least 60-80 people from the vancouver technology community. Thank you so much for this opportunity guys!
Here is the video and since the slide show is not quite clear in it we have also embeded the presentation as a slideshare in this blog post for you. Thank you Roland for the great video that you’ve made. The the other project that presented after us was BuddyPress from Automattic. These are the same great folks who have devleoped the Wordpress blogging software.
Yesterday Peter Russel interviewed me about the Anahita Social Engine ™ and how we used the beloved Nooku Framework to develop our social web development technology. I think despite the stuffy nose caused by summer allergy and being up early after late hours of working the night before, I managed to communicate what we have been cooking up for the past 18 months!
I wish my good friend and partner Ash Sanieyan from Peerglobe Technology could be there in the video too. Having spent countless of sleepless nights and long working days together on the Anahita project he could have offered very interesting inputs about the technology from his own perspective. Perhaps next time he will the one on the spotlight while I’ll be coding and fixing bugs
Thank you very much Peter, Johan, and Mathias (the Nooku folks) for this interview
