My, my there went another exciting week of content management. We had the Open Text acquisition of Vignette and some of our favorite brains giving forth at the J Boye Conference in Philly. We hope you enjoyed all this as much as we did.

Now we don’t want to get in your way, but here’s a big thanks to our current supporters. It’s you who have kept the content management gears in our heads turning and the life giving Nespresso machines merrily gurgling. We are most thankful.
