OEM agreement between Alfresco and Adobe
Alfresco published a press-release announcing their OEM agreement with Adobe. Adobe will embed Alfresco's ECM software in its own LifeCycle Enterprise Suite.
Adobe Share powered by Alfresco
Adobe Share is powered by Alfresco. This is a beta service for now letting you share and convert documents. Those deployments based on Free and Open Source Software are rarely advertised as such, and certainly worth mentioning.
JLAN: the Java CIFS implementation now under GPL
Alfresco announced the release of JLAN under the GPLv2 license with FLOSS exception (this exception enables GPL-incompatible Free/Libre Open Source Software to use JLAN despite the license incompatibility).
JLAN implements "an embedded virtual file system that offers the only Java client and server implementation of Microsoft Window’s CIFS, allowing content, system administration information, and rows in a database to appear as a shared drive
Alfresco JLAN offers the following features and functionality:
- Only Pure Java client and server implementation - CIFS, NFS and FTP
- High Performance – Similar to the native file system
- Enterprise Authentication – NTLM, NTLMSSP, SPNEGO, Kerberos/AD
- Real-Time Access – No copy to local disk and conflict resolution issues
- Offline Access - Integration to Microsoft® briefcase
"
Matt Asay, member of the Alfresco board, hopes that other Content Management Systems will adopt JLAN and contribute to its development.
Alfresco Community Release 2.1 available
Alfresco, the open source Enterprise Content Management solution, is now available in version 2.1 with new possibilities like easier customisation and integration with scripting and REST interfaces, a "Web 2.0" interface.
All this comes on top of the features expected from an ECM:
- Workflows
- Collaboration
- Knowledge management
- Web content management
A fact sheet enumerates all features.
