We have been kept rather busy with Lise since the autumn exhibitions!

Everbody loves ECM

Since the bagdes "I (heart) ECM" did very well around us, we developped a whole universe about loving the sweet ECM world! We launched the I love ECM initiative : iloveecm.nuxeo.com. You can follow Mr Jack through hi quest to find the perfect ECM solution.

You can also discover the Nuxeo Crew and download wallpapers!

The campagin included our 2008 greeting card! As usual the card was staff-centered, it was a nice piece of A5 cardboard with a STICKERS sheet inside!

I must admit that numerous people's computers and phones have been "sticked" here at the office, voluntarily... or not! :-)
Please visit our FlickR to have an overall look on the I LOVE ECM material.

Nuxeo Web Engine

While we work on middle-term communication projetcs with Lise, we also have to integrate some of our customers projects. One of theme included a system of web publishing. Some R&D later it became the Nuxeo Web Engine add-on : the ideal way to add public blogs and wikis to your platform! The surprise is not ready yet but will soon be! All I can tell is that is really powerful (tags, comments, attached files, side boxes filling), very smooth to use (it's full of Jquery) yet very simple since it uses Free Markup Language, there is almost no code! I tell you, this will just be awesome 2.0!

Corporate web site

Speaking of Web Publishing, Nuxeo.com had its share : we worked on the front page so the information is more clear and appealing, with less images.

Nuxeo celebrated the World Environment Day and that was the occasion for our web site to change face!

What now?

In addition to all these projects, we have been working for several weeks on a Nuxeo EP interface update. As soon as the wireframes and behaviours are validated we'll start working on the graphics. For now there is not much we can say about the layout and new features, except that it may very well include Jean-Marc Orliaguet's web widgets and that the quality will match Nuxeo Web Engine's. That's to say! :-)

Until there, take care and stay tuned on Nuxeo's Galaxy!

September was a productive month for sure, here are some of our last creations.

First, Lise has been working on an extension of Nuxeo EP for mail management and it's pretty :-)







We have been working also on the Nuxeo RCP appearance. First, we gave it a splashscreen. Sun is still working on integrating the tabs, so I made the icons (most of them come from Tango, famfamfam, are a mix or were entierely made vectorally from sratch). We even made linux/win/osX icon! Next step would be to theme the backgrounds & text. Here are some screenshots of custom graphics in action.











Note that Nuxeo RCP & Courrier can be downloaded in the sandbox of the Nuxeo source code.


As you may know, Nuxeo was present at Le Forum Des Acteurs du Numérique in Paris, IFRA in Vienna and at DocumationUK in London, so we made half-a-dozen banners (up to 2 meters-long!). At these exhibitions we had three all-new booklets ( Corporate presentation, Nuxeo ECM Stack & Nuxeo Connect support). We also gave "i luv ECM" badges, they were a success! You can find some photos in our Nuxeo Flickr, where you can find some pictures of Steve Raby & the DOC. ^^









Among other little things (we made nice signs for THE BUREAU & THE FRIGO offices - i'll show you when I get a digital camera), we started to theme the discussions section on nuxeo.org, the community site.




At least, all the graphic material used for communication was re-injected in the whole new ECM Stack pages on nuxeo.com!




I hope you all enjoy it, stay tuned for more ECM-loving pictures :-)

I'm proud to announce that our corporate site has been refreshed. Sharper, lighter, more sober and filled up : could not dream more for a website that is definitely looking more and more like our firm (unless sober for some, I guess) ;-) !

A little reorg has been made to welcome our new subsidiary in Senegal : Nuxeo Afrique ! The front page layout highlights our abilities in open source ECM and we now have a Downloads section where you'll find our french brochures but also NXGoodies such as corporate wallpapers. How addictive, isn't it ? :-)

But that ain't all ! The screencast page had its little lift too. Our customers page is now completely full of CPS-based ECM sucess stories. And besides other little hidden surprises (more and more the graphic communication is being united), you can now keep up to date with the News & Events.

Well stay tuned, like Arnaud would say, and enjoy your visit at Nuxeo.com !

How to... change the CPS Default Theme in less than 1 hour using CPSSkins ? That question has been raised many times on the CPS-users lists and it has now a quite definitive answer in 4 steps on Nuxeo.com Screencasts. The swf videos are dubbed in french and subtitled in english. Please enjoy and don't hesitate to give us feedbacks !

Tickets in TRAC are being fixed, new portlets are being coded, mac os X installer is being developped... Apogée is on the rise... and still more is expected ! Here a teaser for pleasure ...

A brand new screenshot of the default homepage I'm working on (it is scalable of course)... and some other portlets too.
Most of the new icon set has also been added. Icons mostly come from Mark James' FAMFAMFAM Silk icon set (and some of Mini too), i just made them a little more GUI ! Many thanks to him !

I just figured out how to transform our old arrowed and cold form buttons to look more... lickable as Steve would have said ;-)
It it pretty simple : border is 1px outset white with a image-background "10 px high 1px large position:top bottom repeat-x" when normal (i told you it was sexy!). When hover, grays are darker, but just take a look... and enjoy !

The new CPS default theme is being integrated for the next release (3.4). It includes new CPS logo and colours, better usability, sexy forms, new set of icons, new "brilliant buttons", Tarek's Drag'n'Drop and other cool stuff.
Tabs, Menu and Actions portlets are still being coded. I can't wait to see the whole thing put together ! Playing with CPSSkins also gave me the taste to make a logo for Jean-Marc Orliguet (i already made a new set of styles icons)
