I am not the only person around in IT to be making predictions that this year will see open source software heading towards being mainstream.

First look at Mambo Open Source 4.5, a PHP and MySQL based CMS and portal system is promising.

I attended the New Zealand Government's ICT Connecting Communities conference held in Wellington in November 2003.

Sun launches Java Desktop System that apparently provides all of the standard desktop client software your employees need--including an office suite, calendar, e-mail, a browser, Real One player, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and more--for one-third the cost of Microsoft Windows and Office XP upgrades.

Mambo Open Source (formerly Mambo SiteServer) makes communicating via the Web easy. With Mambo Open Source there is no need for HTML, XML, DHTML skills. Just enter your content, add a picture and then through the easy to use administrator web-interface click Publish!
