hmm. I've seen this presentation before in Pörssi restaurant in Helsinki. It was good then too.

nice point about a community keeping software alive, as long as people are interested. Henri picked up one project when the main developer quit, everything went smoothly and didn't slow down.

@Neva:works if a) there are free resources to be used and b) the resources are interested to do whatever needs to be done. Doesn't always work..

mention about Qaiku running on top of Midgard. Runs on Maemo too.

Important stuff - synchronization, change informing, APIs instead of raw SQL

Webapp builder - bundled content repository, server and browser.

@Neva yep, some material was same as in the ServOSS conference two years ago, but of course things have moved forward quite a bit. Especially the new OpenPSA maintainership and the whole thing of Midgard2 becoming reality

@bergie - never tried but my feeling with all webapps is that it's a pain to set up. Don't know how Midgard works but, for example, is there a debian/ubuntu repository to install it & keep updated? Some other webapps kill me with constantly releasing new versions & making me have to update it (thus breaking it..). I understand that security issues require updating but do they also always have to push new features to break templates etc.. -> enterprise users with someone paid to maintain the system OK, but I have my doubts using midgard for smaller communities.

@rhk we use OBS to build and provide repos for most popular distros. The CMS is indeed oriented towards enterprise, though you can also build other things with it. There are releases happening twice a year, but CMS users are most safe running current long-term support version 8.09 "Ragnaroek".

The runtime, when finished, will provide a more consistent environment - you control the Midgard version you want to bundle, you know the browser features available etc

@bergie ok thanks. LTS sounds like a good idea, I wish Wordpress would do the same..

rhk commented on posted to #seminaarikannu 30.09.2009 (en)

LTS was a mandatory thing for us to do to bridge the gap between Midgard1 and Midgard2 (which still doesn't have the CMS features)

@rhk There's c) API is stupid enough (and smart enough) to let you do whatever you need to do. That's why Midgard2 API is not aware of final application environment, that might be web app or server daemon or mobile device application.
