I am pleased to announce that Chalmers University of Technology(Sweden) just told me that they would like to join the Apogée project (Proposal of Eclipse Foundation). Chalmers University is an early adopter of Nuxeo and a mojor contributor to the CPS Platform (through Jean-Marc Orliaguet, the best "AJAX and web rendering engines" guy I know and a major guru of CPS Platform :-). I am glad they also are interested in this new project and very exited to work with them.

BTW, I really love to make annoucement like this (or the two latests :-).

Here is a little quote from the university...

Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden has started a project aiming at setting up and updating several websites in cooperation with universities in China. Being able to have access to the rich-document editing features and content management capabilities of CPS3 while working offline is a very important feature: due to the nature of the internet connection with China (low speed connection with Europe, high latency, ...), updating website content through-the-web is not a viable option. The Apogée project appears to be a very promising extension of CPS that Chalmers is expressing its very strong interest for.

Thank you for joining, we are very exciting to get this interest in the project and look forward working together.

I am delighted to report that db4objects and TMT (db4objects's partner) announce their interest as commiters/contributors in the Apogée project (Eclipse Foundation's proposal here).

Db4objects is the software vendor of the opensource object database for Java called db4o. We are considering it as a perfect solution for Apogée default storage engine. I am sure that their support will definitely help greatly this project.

Thanks to Christof Wittig (CEO of db4objects) and Sato Takenori (CEO of TMT) to have made this choice.

Note: The proposal will be updated as soon as possible.

I am very pleased to announce that the French Press Agency (AFP) and the French Institute of Statutory Auditors (CNCC) announce their support to the Apogée project (proposed to the Eclipse Foundation) as interested consumers. The proposal will be updated soon.

I would like to thank them (Apogée wouldn't have been possible without projects they financed, in fact), and welcome them to the project.

Note: if you are an interested consumer of Apogée, do not hesitate to write me! :-)
