Alfresco-Adobe Pact Continues To Strengthen Open Source

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the long-time-coming dept.

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."

    I'm proud to say that I can't code a line of C, C++, or Java, but my CF skills have kept me in high demand as a software engineer

    You're not a software engineer. You're a codemonkey. There's a difference.
