    Hi Robert,

    I was just wondering how you got on with your Open Source CMS Whitepaper - I’ve been asked to evaluate the pros & cons of using an open source CMS for our Council so if I can save re-inventing the wheel that would be ideal!

    Thanks for your thoughts Mike. I will let you know about the white paper in due course and would appreciate input from people like yourself.

    As for Cloud Working, not really looked into it but would be interest in to some links to resources about it.

    I’m not aware of any white paper existing but would be most interested to see it myself

    I have been slowly introducing joomla as an intranet alternative and i see a lot of potential for using a lot of open source apps such as picasa replace all the photoshop element installs an so on and so forth

    I’m a big advocate for cloud working would love to know how others feel about this I think it’s is more prominent now that we have chrome OS on its way and that we all need to make cost savings
