Normally I don’t post stuff like this but here’s a cool holiday offer from MindTouch, the makers of open source wiki and social collaboration software, deki. They will donate and adopt, from the World Wildlife Fund, an emperor penguin in any company’s name when they upgrade to MindTouch Standard or Enterprise license from an existing Deki Open Source installation.
I like the free and open source deki and have a couple accounts on their wiki hosting site— Wik.is. However after asking their CEO, Aaron “WildMan” Fulkerson, what’s the advantage of buying he gave me the list:
- Stable build–Deki Commercial build is the only edition recommended for production environments
- Desktop Suite–Publish from Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Word and benefit from the MindTouch Desktop Connector, which delivers drag-and-drop capabilities to your Microsoft Windows desktop
- Enterprise adapters to enable business automation–Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Salesforece, SugarCRM and much more…
So the reason I mentioned the promotion is I like the buy something get something free marketing but only when there’s something cool or useful. I dig penguins so nothing better than saving a clumsy, bottom heavy guy in black (not unlike myself).
[Disclosure: I am an advisor to MindTouch Inc. but have no financial agreement with them whatso-ever, I just like the way they roll.]
