Welcome to the Abilian newsletter!
You've asked to be kept up to date with the projects and activities of Abilian (formerly known by the code name "Yaka"). I'm pleased to send you this first newsletter, which is deliberately short.
Key information
The company was created last November, and since then we've been working hard on our first client projects, as well as developing our Enterprise 2.0 platform and the business applications that go with it.
You can find a presentation of the company, the challenges it meets for its customers and the technologies it uses to do so (on Speaker Deck or on SlideShare).
We launched a first version of our website last month: www.abilian.com. It is still incomplete, but we hope it will give you an initial idea of our ambitions.
Our public appearances
In March we took part in the Enterprise 2.0 Summit conference in Paris, where we gave a presentation on Open Innovation in Action - Lessons learned about social collaboration from 30 years of open source.
On 22 and 23 May we will be in Berlin at the Open IT Summit (an event co-located with LinuxTag) and at the Berlin node of the EIT ICT Labs to meet German partners.
We will be taking part in Solutions Linux on 28 May as session chair and moderator of round tables on Web development facing the challenges of mobile and multi-platform computing and The new challenges of Open Source collaborative tools.
We are co-organising the conference Le MOOC 2013 (on, as its name suggests, MOOCs, massive open online courses) on 30 May.
In the news
- L'Atelier BNP Paribas wrote an article about us: [Enterprise 2.0] "Open source projects will tend towards the development of mini community applications"
That's it for this month, I'll see you next month for more news, and hopefully more code for the enthusiasts (in the meantime, you can keep an eye on our GitHub repo).
Of course, we're open to all your questions, whether technical or commercial, as well as your suggestions for collaboration.
Best regards,
S. Fermigier, Founder and CEO, Abilian SAS
