Open source refers to the fully open development model, procedures, and documentation all open, without any "secret", which is completely transparent. In order to explain, it is public performance, competitive competition. Without secret, can you innovate? What is fascinating?
Can open source software for enterprises? Without the help of commercial software, pure open source software can be used in companies? The answer is yes. On the Ubuntu 6.06 Enterprise version of the Lamp architecture, put Joomla! 1.0.9 (called "gray") The stabilization version ran, it is a new scene. Enterprise website (product release, e-commerce, office group, etc.) can be in Joomla! Built on the platform. So, Joomla! What is it?
Joomla! It is a bright star in open source star, attracting attention, and has been born 8 months. In September last year, the Mambo development team happened "Split", a development team composed of 21 Mambo core members (different nationality), forming today's Joomla! The core of the project (organization). They are determined along the GPL's "Open Source" Avenue to find a real open source solution for the company.
Joomla! The development of (gray) is extremely explosive. By May this year, Joomla! The number of people in the forum reached 33,000 (only 4,500 people only in April). Joomla! "Post" released in the forum (or called "small articles") has more than 36,000 articles, with an average of more than 100 "posts" every day. Joomla! The innovation of the community is very high. Joomla! Community, don't do the little faction, no "no control", unity, and rushing to open source, it is really that "people are uniform, can be moved". Currently, Joomla! The 1.5 version has entered the "Beta" test phase. Joomla! 1.5 After the stable version comes out (before this year), the LAMP platform with Ubuntu 6.06 will cooperate with each other, will it bring how big "gospel" is it for information about the world?
I am sitting in the Ubuntu laboratory, watching Joomla quietly! Various "examples" (running on the Ubuntu 6.06 Enterprise Server), I feel that it is very practical in my heart, and I even have a clear feeling. Whether the open source software can be used for enterprises, whether it is stable and reliable, I don't care how to say, according to the Ubuntu laboratory, it is enough to explain, Linux operating system and other open source software for the skin and durable. More than 3 years ago, I personally participated in the Hongk cap Linux operating system installed in the installation, still able to run normally, and it can't be paused (supporting the entire production line). Said people who say Linux bad things, there is definitely in the world. But do they really "play" Linux? I see, don't see it.
How to treat Joomla! ? It is not used in it. Today, I let the Ubuntu laboratory enter "state", fully research and track Joomla! Absorb it, digest it, test it, and finally use it. Joomla! 1.0.9 version, a total of 1,566 PHP5 files, less than 150,000 source code, than Joomla! The 1.0 version (1,213 files) has more than 300 program files. As long as the source code of the software is not more than 100,000 lines, we can "self-control" within the scope of "self-control". China uses the LAMP architecture in the world's lowest level (based on the French www.nexen.net survey). Currently talk about Joomla! The development platform is widely used in my country's enterprises, as well as fashion. Joomla! Achievements fully demonstrate the charm of open source software development. Who says Joomla! Didn't innovate? Please take a look at the "Extension" (Extension) of Joomla! (Extension). Everything can be. Joomla! It is no longer a CMS (content release system), but an enterprise's portal (Portal) development platform, including e-commerce applications. Joomla! Fans (fans) are a group of real warriors, they walk along the GPL direction, and never stop.
