DotNetNuke 6 Released (Screenshots included)
DotNetNuke Corp. today announced the availability of DotNetNuke 6 which they bill as "the world’s leading Web Content Management Platform (WCM) for Microsoft .NET". Over the years, I've been quite impressed with what DotNetNuke has to offer and I've been equally impressed with the DotNetNuke leaders I've engaged with in recent months. If you're looking at an open source CMS option for the .NET environment, you seriously need to take a look at DotNetNuke (especially if you haven't taken a look at this CMS in recent years).
DotNetNuke 6 has a lot of new feaures to offer longtime and potential users to one of the most popular web CMS on .NET. I'll let the attached press release (below the screenshots) speak for themselves. But in summary, this dramatic upgrade of DotNetNuke brings the following features to the content management system:
- A dramatically altered, user-friendly interface, with direct, one-click access to the online app store
- Built-in integration with cloud-based services such as Amazon and Azure
- A MSFT SharePoint connector
- A new eCommerce module
- The DotNetNuke core platform has been rewritten in C# which makes it more accessible to a larger developer community and simplifies the customization
DotNetNuke 6 also has features that are intended to help speed web site design and delivery, simplify content upgrades and assure full compatibility with previous versions of DotNetNuke. The open platform allows DotNetNuke to function as a content management system (CMS) and application development framework.

CMS Redefined: Cloud. Mobile. Social.
Back in December I participated in a podcast with Alan Shimel from Network World where I was also joined by Kathleen Reidy, Senior Analyst from The 451 Group and Todd Barr, Chief Marketing Officer for Alfresco. The topic of the podcast was “Open Source CMS” but we also talked about “crystal ball” predictions for the CMS market in general for 2011. In the podcast, I mentioned that from DotNetNuke’s perspective, innovation in the content management market in the coming years will all be centered around 3 major disruptive industry trends…Cloud, Mobile, and Social. Conveniently, these 3 hot trends redefine the C.M.S. acronym:
Based on the influence of cloud, mobile and social, the on-line needs of users and customers have changed significantly in recent years. The days of simple brochure-ware websites targeting traditional browser devices with one-way communication are quickly coming to an end. The web has evolved to become much more sophisticated medium. A business website is no longer a destination; rather, it is a hub of web engagement (credit to Barb Mosher from CMS Wire for summarizing this so elegantly).
To help emphasize this point in visual terms which everyone can understand, I constructed a diagram which attempts to identify the complex requirements for a modern business website. I first shared this diagram at the keynote of the DotNetNuke Connections conference in Las Vegas in November 2011, and it received such a good response that I have been using it in most of my conference presentations in 2011.

Today's Role of IT
The Register: "The place to start is to consider IT’s role in the grand scheme of things. If we sidestep the idea that everything is going to the cloud, and consider a more realistic scenario whereby a business may own and operate a certain set of core services (processes with a degree of privacy / IP, customer data, etc) and look to outsource their services (certain software apps, server/storage capacity etc), it’s relatively easy to see an emerging role for IT as an orchestrator, rather than sole custodian."
First U.S. Federal CIO: Vivek Kundra
The United States federal government finally appoints the country's first Chief Information Officer. For a bureaucracy that is having a difficult time handling a President that wants a computer in the Oval Office and a Blackberry in his hand, I'd say the new CIO has his work cut out for him.
The U.S. government's first CIO, Vivek Kundra, introduced himself today as someone who will act aggressively to change the federal government's use of IT by adopting consumer technology and ensuring that government data is open and accessible.
Kundra also wants to use technology such as cloud computing to attack the government's culture of big-contract boondoggles and its hiring of contractors who end up "on the payroll indefinitely."
