Alfresco Announces Alfresco Labs (Beta) 3, Open Source SharePoint Repository

Alfresco Software announced the availability of Alfresco Labs (Beta) 3. Alfresco Labs 3, formerly called Alfresco Community, offers Microsoft users greater choice by providing them with an open source fully-compatible SharePoint repository. With Alfresco Labs 3, companies can leverage existing investments in Linux and Java as well as Microsoft .NET connection software to reduce their SharePoint total cost of ownership and maximize their hardware and software investments. The Alfresco Labs 3 repository offers: Microsoft Office SharePoint protocol support requiring no additional client installation; Alfresco Surf platform for building REST-oriented web applications and collaborative web sites; RESTful API delivering content and collaboration services for customizing and developing Alfresco applications; Preview of Alfresco Share, a new soci

Alfresco opens up SharePoint to Java, Linux, Oracle, and more

As an employee of Alfresco, I'm somewhat biased in reporting that Alfresco yesterday announced full SharePoint integration with the Alfresco 3.0 Labs release. Even so, I think it's highly significant precisely because of what it says about the importance of Microsoft's continued battles with the European Union over proprietary protocols.

Alfresco-Adobe Pact Continues To Strengthen Open Source

rsmiller510 writes "Last week Adobe surprised a few people with the announcement that it was including Alfresco content management services as part of its LiveCycle Enterprise Suite Update 1 package. The surprise was two-fold, that Adobe felt it was necessary to add content management services at all, and that it chose open source vendor Alfresco as its content management partner. I spoke to Alfresco CEO John Powell to get his perspective on the pact and how it can help push open source into the enterprise mainstream. Powell is understandably excited by this arrangement, and one of the main reasons, he says, is because the Adobe partnership gives his company credibility with companies that might otherwise not even sniff at an open source vendor.

Alfresco creates open source SharePoint clone

Alfresco Software Thursday said it has added support for SharePoint Server 2007 protocols to its Alfresco Labs 3 beta and created an open source clone of Microsoft's content management platform.

Alfresco founder says open source makes software better

In 2005, Alfresco was the first open source software company in the UK to capture venture funding, for its collection of enterprise document management applications. John Powell, formerly the COO of Business Objects, and John Newton, founder of Documentum, got together to launch Alfresco because they wanted to create a business that would have "global reach," according to Powell. Right from the start, Powell and Newton knew that the best way to do that was to create and market an open source product.

The best place to host your open-source project

Just a few short years ago, there was one open-source hosting service worth considering: Sourceforge.net. It was by no means perfect (Alfresco's analytics, for example, have been down for over a month on Sourceforge, with no apparent urgency to fix the problem), but it was good enough, free, and everyone else used it.

Sifting open-source "wheat" from the "chaff" willie 3

BusinessWeek is asking an important question of open-source companies: despite the rapid growth of some open-source businesses (e.g., Red Hat, Novell Suse, Alfresco, SugarCRM, and others), it's still very much an open question as to whether open source can deliver outsized returns for investors.

Is It Good For Business To Subsidize OSS Developers?

ruphus13 writes "A lot of developers for open source software have full-time day jobs too. As economist Milton Friedman said, 'The business of business is business.' So, does it make sense for companies to encourage their developers to contribute to the open source community? OStatic discusses a blog post by Alfresco exec Matt Asay, who makes the case for why they should. '"Companies like IBM, Intel, SGI, MIPS, Freescale, HP, etc. are all working to ensure that Linux runs well on their hardware. That, in turn, makes their offerings more attractive to Linux users, resulting in increased sales." While I don't think we'll ever see companies everywhere subsidizing employee development of open source tools, many tech and non-tech companies alike could benefit from subsidizing open source development from employees with talent.

Linux World 2008/Streets of San Francisco

"I tried to scan the agenda, and on a fast connection it took forever to load, what with all the dynamic content and fancy graphics. But on my way back from the Board dinner, and across the street from where I was staying (Hotel Nikko - full stereo in the room, and a New York Times waiting outside the door every morning - how civilized is that?), I was pleased to find the eminently alfresco and evergreen music of the streets of San Francisco.

McCall, Idaho: Ice Sculptures

now is a white crystalline substance that falls from the sky in winter. This much science knows—but the soul of snow eludes both science and logic. It lives in certain giddy chambers of the heart. I learned this anew one Friday evening last January when I pulled up to an outdoor stage in tiny McCall, Idaho, 100 miles north of Boise. It was less than 10 degrees outside, and yet the psychedelic rock band Equaleyes was jamming away alfresco as part of the town’s splendid 10-day winter carnival. A thick crowd was gyrating on the packed powder dance floor with the joyous abandon of kids off school on a snow day, and nearby a few diehards were actually sipping beer at a sidewalk table. "Don’t you think it’s cold?" I asked. "Well," one local said philosophically, "it’s a dry cold.
