SilverStripe for Councils
Having recently received quite a bit of interest from New Zealand councils, we attended the ALGIM conference, an annual get-together for council IT managers and staff.
We believe SilverStripe is a fantastic fit for councils, given it is so important to update content continuously for the communities they serve. It helps to have a user-friendly CMS like ours, as it requires little training and allows non-technical staff to be very productive.

Back from San Francisco
We've just returned from a trip to San Fransisco, where we exhibited and spoke at at the global MySQL Conference held in Santa Clara.
We met with hundreds of people, received very positive feedback about our presentation (slides and resources now online), and secured commercial business. We're also seeing our developer community grow as a result, as April has already topped our all-time high for our software downloads.

Help out at MySQLConf
We have a free pass to the annual global MySQL conference for someone who can help man our stall in the expo hall.
We were invited to speak at the conference (about our experiences with PDO) and invited to exhibit within the open source pavillion, and would be thrilled to have some local support.

Learn from the leaders of the web
In February, a few dozen leaders in the web industry presented fresh and inspiring material at the Webstock conference, which was held in Wellington with various members of SilverStripe presenting and helping with organisation.
Webstock featured dozens of talks covering the technical through to the philosophical, and the recordings are now online to watch for free.
We urge you to put aside a few evenings to watch them as there's something relevant for everyone!

AnEventApart San Francisco: Day Two
Day two of Alistapart's web conference was just as satisfying as the first day, full of a mixture of technical, business, and design inspiration.
Doug Bowman: Design to Scale
In keeping with presentations of the past, Doug Bowman used his humanity-scale metaphors to explain how the audience should challenge their way of working. The only thing different, was that this time, his tenure at Google encouraged him to showcase a company's achivements rather than his own.
