TWIKI.NET launched at LinuxWorld in San Francisco

We had a very fun and busy launch of the TWIKI.NET at LinuxWorld in San Francisco, 2007-08-07. Several hundred TWiki users and fans visited the site as well as 700 other people who were interested in learning more about our powerful open-source wiki and collaboration platform. Our booth was busy the entire conference. One of the staff from LinuxWorld commented that it appeared to be one of the busiest booths at the show.

Many people were thrilled to be able to meet our co-founder Peter Thoeny, the original creator of the open source TWiki. We also met many existing and new industry friends and supporters. I had the opportunity to present at the Intel Pavilion for two showing. David Allen, from our product management team, spoke on Linux intrusion detection and security.

We also had support in our booth from business partners such as FAonDemand, who have built TWiki based applications for us and other customers, and also LignUp. LignUp provides VOIP development platforms and has produced some very cool TWiki applications such as a voice-enabled wiki for project management. The application allows any team member on a project to call a phone number and leave a message on a wiki page for the rest of the team to hear. It also automatically notifies everyone on the team by email that the message has been posted on the wiki project page. If you are interested in learning more about that application, please contact Claire Umeda at LignUp.

Many thanks to these partners, and the entire TWiki community at LinuxWorld for your support!
