Call for Developers

Since its initial launch in August 2008, our Open Source Digital Asset Management System Razuna, has been downloaded many times and drives now a couple of professional Multimedia Libraries around the world.

We would like to extend the reach of Razuna and therefore we need you help!

To be more precise, we want to integrate Razuna into other systems by the way of a plugin or extension or whatever your favorite system offers for integration. We are currently seeking developers to help us integrate Razuna into other systems. We want to integrate Razuna into Typo3, Plone, Drupal, Joomla, WordPress, Movable Type or any other system you know and can benefit from a Multimedia Library like Razuna.

The best way to start is to look at the Razuna API Developer Guide with which Razuna can be accessed by standardized web services and to join our Developer Mailing List.

The Razuna API is a new addition we just published and will also be available for the (very) soon to be public available Razuna SaaS Hosted platform. If you haven’t seen it, it is available at http://razuna.com.

The Updates are here

While catching up with some past RSS-Feeds I noticed the following mentionable updates;

WordPress 2.7
If you are into blogging and are serious about it you know about WordPress. With 2.7 they redesigned the Admin interface dramatically (for the good) and added some nice new features. Worth every penny.

MySQL 5.1
Yes, it is here. MySQL 5.1 is final (GA) and has been downloaded like crazy since going GA. Customers and testers have been running pre-releases of 5.1 for over a year in production and Sun claims this to be the most stable release every (…and yes, Razuna with MySQL support is about to be released very soon).

Apple MacBook’s Updates
The new (late 2008) MacBook’s are by no doubt beautiful machines, but have been plagued with some Battery, Screen and Mouse issues in the past. Apple slowly roles out the updates ot fix them. Today they released two new firmware updates that fixes some major issues for MacBook owners.

(And if you believe the rumors then MacOS X 10.5.6 is around the corner…)
