Re: [OSCOM] OSCOM.4 / ApacheCon Europe 2004 RFP

[Bob Doyle <ed...@cmsreview.com>]

Hi Gregor and Michael,

I guess no OSCOM in Cambridge this year...

I added this event to the CMS Calendar (http://www.cmscalendar.com).

The calendar is a syndicated feed, and you might consider adding it to 
the OSCOM site? I can style the CSS for the feed to match OSCOM colors.

Another valuable feed from CMS Review is the CMS Glossary (now 230 
definitions). You can see this at http://www.cmsglossary.com. It also 
can be styled with OSCOM CSS.

It could replace the current OSCOM Glossary I put up for you last summer 
http://www.oscom.org/projects/cms-selection/glossary.

Good luck with OSCOM 4.
