To Open Source or Not? Here are the answers
Seth introduced a new concept for me, to help understand when open source may make sense and when it probably doesn't: consider whether the website is CORE to your business model, or merely CONTEXTUAL. If it's core - then open source is probably not the best way to go. That insight alone made the presentation - which was other than that also packed with interesting information - worth my while. Good, solid, presentation. |

Excellent objective overview of CMS selection guidelines
Seth's presentation about when open source makes sense was a great overview of what is means to choose open source as a platform. He gave a good overview of what the licensing means and some great guides to help in choosing when commercial, software as a service and open source systems make sense for your organization. |
