OPEN SOURCE COLLABORATION & INTEGRATION
San Diego, Calif., Feb. 02, 2008 - MindTouch, the open source wiki platform company and developer of MindTouch Deki, announced that open-source leaders Larry Augustin and Matt Asay have joined its Board of Advisors. Augustin invests and advises early stage technology companies, and was CEO and founder of VA Linux (now SourceForge) (NASDAQ:LNUX). Asay is general manager, Americas, and VP of Business Development for Alfresco.
MindTouch Deki, the world's most popular vendor-backed wiki, is a free enterprise-class open source wiki and application platform for communities and businesses. Unlike other wikis, MindTouch Deki is an easy-to-use, customizable, and scalable solution to create, organize, aggregate, mashup and share information. It’s a platform for creating collaborative applications that connect wikis to an existing software or workflow infrastructure, enhancing productivity across applications and workgroups.
"MindTouch is enabling businesses to seamlessly connect legacy systems, Web 2.0 applications and Web-services inside an open, extensible wiki framework. Convergence of information and talent is critical to the modern IT infrastructure," said Augustin. "The significance of this is apparent by how quickly the community has rallied around MindTouch’s open source technology. I'm very excited to be part of this team."
Asay added, "MindTouch is defining a new class of software: the Social Enterprise Platform. MindTouch Deki delivers real value to businesses and offers users the ability to create and integrate enterprise-class custom applications and mashups for greater scalability, ease of use and improved workflow, which in turn, can result in significant cost savings across the entire organization. MindTouch is in a rapidly growing segment of the market and I look forward to helping them grow further."
