(London, 3 April 2012) IT Europa and Angel Business Communications announced today that they will jointly be staging the first Outsourcing, Hosting and Co-location conference on 23 May 2012 in London. The event, which is being staged in association with the Datacentre Alliance (DCA) will bring together leading hardware and software vendors, hosting providers, telecommunications companies, mobile operators and web services providers involved in the provision of Outsourcing, Hosting and Co-location services with directors and senior executives of major organisations looking to examine new forms of IT provision.
Outsourcing, Hosting and Co-location 2012 is a senior management event designed to help organisations explore alternative mechanisms for delivering IT services to their employees, partners and customers. The conference will feature a range of high-level presentations that will set out to redefine the roles of Outsourcing, Hosting and Co-Location against the backdrop of the adoption of Cloud computing both at a public and private level.
“The mass adoption of ‘Cloud based’ services is dramatically changing the way organisations view the role of traditional outsourcing, hosting and co-location services,” commented John Chapman, content manager for the Outsourcing, Hosting and Co-Location 2012 event. “The competitiveness that Cloud services have brought to this marketplace has rapidly created a commodity environment for traditional hosted storage and server co-location services as well as newer Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) type offerings.”
Life is treating Liferay very well these days. After only a few months since Liferay Portal 6.1 was introduced, this company witnessed half a million downloads of their 6.1 software. So what does Liferay decide to do next? How does this sound? Take Liferay through a multi-city roadshow so even more business users and organizations become aware of what Liferay has to offer.
That's right, if you want to find out more about Liferay Portal you may have an opportunity to visit with the people of Liferay at a city near you. If the roadshow doesn't work for you, you may also want to check Liferay out in the upcoming 2012 CMS Expo in Chicago. During this May event, Liferay is a Featured CMS in one of the best yearly Learning and Business CMS conferences I've ever attended. I think this is a pivotal year for LIferay and you don't want to miss out getting to know this enterprise open source company.
To learn more about the Liferay's Portal 6.1 half a million download as well as the roadshow, I've attached their press release below.

J and Beyond, an International Joomla® Conference in May 18th - 20th, 2012, Bad Nauheim, Germany is coming and the deadline for submitting proposals for sessions is on 1st April.
J and Beyond is back for the third year. For three days in May Joomla! developers and site builders from over 30 countries will gather in Bad Nauheim, near Frankfurt, right in the heart of Europe. Whether you're single or with family, for those of you that live here in the Western Hemishere this may be the perfect time to take that vacation trip you alway wanted to take to Europe.
J and Beyond is your opportunity to: Learn from others, Present your ideas, Plan for the future, Meet the people behind the avatar AND most importantly - to have fun!
The program for J and Beyond is created by you the participants through a public "Call for Papers" and this year for the first time J and Beyond will be integrating the Joomla! Project Roadmap sessions.
Any and every participant has the opportunity to present a paper which can be either a presentation, tutorial or workshop. This is your opportunity to not only meet your peers but to share your ideas, experiences and projects.
Before submitting a paper, the conference folks ask you to please spend a moment or two to consider if it is appropriate. If you think it sounds like something you would be interested in attending then you are off to a good start.
A simple product demonstration is probably not the right presentation for J and Beyond, the attendees are more than capable of downloading software and checking it out for themselves. Think beyond the obvious and try to propose sessions that will truly inform, educate and engage with the unique audience at J and Beyond. More details and ideas are available online.
On May 8th, 9th, and 10th, you and I have the opportunity to attend 2012 CMS Expo which is held once a year in Chicago. This event is billed as as CMS "Learning & Business" conference showcasing some of the world's leading Content Management Systems and the people who power them. Whether the CMSs featured are proprietary or open source, focused on small business or enterprise, non-profit, government or commercial applications, there’s something for everyone at CMS Expo.
Last year, CMS Report attended the conference for the first time and we were literally blown away with the diversity of people attending the conference. Lots of people like to focus on the software and design (and that's fine), but for me content management is also about people. CMS Expo has historically been the place for CMS leaders, CMS developers, site users, and business owners to meet all under one roof. CMS Expo offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn about today's leading CMSs, and get to the truth about what works, from both a vendor and a user perspective.
There are over a dozen content management systems that will be showcased at CMS Expo. The CMSs that we are aware of include; Joomla!, Drupal, DotNetNuke, Mura, MODX, TYPO3, Sitefinity, Wondercode, Hannon Hill (Cascade Server), Liferay, Pyro, Movable Type, and Cloud CMS. We're telling you this is the conference not only to learn more about your favorite CMS but also to possibly discover your next CMS that is right for your business.
If you plan to attend, do not forget to register for CMS Expo 2012. Registration grants you FULL ACCESS to all sessions, panels, keynotes and expo hall, so you won't miss a thing. Your ticket also includes breakfast & lunch each day, plus "endless" coffee (or tea), snacks and more, plus entry to all business & social networking events.
As with last year, CMS Report is a proud media sponsor for the 2012 CMS Expo Learning & Business Conference.
One of my favorite yearly conferences is the CMS Expo in Evanston, Illinois. I'm not sure if I've ever been to a conference where so many open source CMS leaders in one room. Whether your CMS is open source or proprietary, you need to be at this conference. Whether you're a business leader, developer, content author, or analyst you'll be doing yourself a great favor by being at this year's CMS Expo.
So it should be no surprise that when the conference Co-founders, Linda or John Coonen, ask me to promote their conference that's what I'm going to jump at the opportunity. This is a great conference and if you're wanting to promote your CMS, CMS Expo is the perfect venue to make your presence known.
It's Time For Your CMS To Take Center Stage
With over 1,000 CMSs on the market today, it’s more important than ever for top-tier and upstart CMSs alike to break out from the crowd, reach new prospects, and get their message heard. The 2012 CMS Expo is the ideal venue to stand out from the rest, and be recognized as an industry leader.
The 2012 CMS Expo Call For CMSs is now officially open.
Is your CMS on the list yet? If not, contact the CMS Expo team today via email, or by calling (815) 455-2900 to get pricing information and how to become a Featured or Spotlight CMS at the 2012 CMS Expo Learning & Business Conference.
Dana Blakenhorn is one of the keynote speakers here at Liferay West Coast Symposium. He's probably one of the most non-Liferay speakers at this symposium giving him the perfect opportunity to express new ideas to this community of Liferay developers, partners, and users. I love these "strength of weak-ties" guests in conferences as it allows for some people in this crowd to "get it" and run with it.
The description for his talk:
The History of Open Source
(Dana Blankenhorn, Open Source Journalist, Freelancer)
Open source is as American as pumpkin pie. It is shared infrastructure. It is how we advance when no one actor can build what must be built. In this slide presentation, Dana Blankenhorn introduces you to the people, and concepts, that make open source what it is, from cavemen to the Cloud.
Some of Dana's most significant points that I'm taking away with this conference:
