It appears that online booksellers such as Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble now report " Professional Community Server Themes " as being "In Stock!" I'm very excited that this book is finally available! This book covers most everything about themes -- understanding how URL rewriting works, creating new themes, using Chameleon and Dynamic Configuration , creating custom Chameleon and Dynamic Configuration controls, controlling editors, post markup processing, and other related...

Community Server Developer's Conference was this past weekend and it was great. We're feverishly trying to get our session videos edited and published so look for those soon. We really enjoyed having everyone here in Dallas and are looking forward to next year! In this video, which happens to be TelliCast #20, we catch some session intros and meet with some of the attendees who travelled from all over including Argentina, England and Israel - or as Amy puts it, from all over the country....

Of course I may be biased, but our first Community Server Developer's Conference was a huge success! Folks from around the world (at *least* four continents) came out to Texas (on a weekend) to hear more about where we are at and where we are headed. If you missed it, our own Kevin Harder live-blogged the entire event . I had the opportunity to give two talks at the conference. The first was about Community Server 2008 and how we'll be expanding the platform. During this brief presentation...

This past weekend at the CSDC , Wyatt Lyon Preul and I presented a two-part talk about implementing themes in Community Server -- both what is available in CS2007 as well as what we're adding in CS2008. We had an excellent turn-out and a lot of great questions (both during the presentation and one-on-one). It was great to meet with developers from all over the world and discuss their experiences, wants and needs in regard to implementing themes. For those who could not attend the CSDC, videos...

I've been collecting links to sites with style or have certain aesthetic qualities that set them apart. Since I do a lot of theming it's also good to have a ready reference to sites that I like. Bookmarking the sites isn't efficient enough because I have to click on text links to display the screenshots I'm looking for, and that could be a lot of clicks. So to provide a better reference to stylin websites I created my new Stylin blog at http://dbvt.com/stylin . A screenshot of the...

We are having an awesome time at the Community Server Developers conference, developers from around the country world have converged to hear about the future and direction of Telligent development. Kevin Harder has been blogging the event for those who can only attend in spirit. We have been recording all of the presentations; and hopefully our video blogging champion Ado, will have some downloads soon...

I will be "live blogging" the 2007 Community Server Developers Conference today similar to how Engadget live blogs Apple Keynotes and such. This post will get continually updated throughout this morning with the latest news, announcements, witty observations, and hopefully a few pictures. After the lunch I will probably start a new post to live blog the afternoon sessions, and then new ones for tomorrow as well. Enjoy! 9:02 AM - The room is filling up as people arrive at the Stonebriar...

TelliCast was really great this week wasn't it? Too bad it was completely wrong... Ok - not completely but the agenda has changed a bit. Find the latest agenda at http://csdc.communityserver.org/ . Also, Friday night's festivities are at Fox Sports Grill in Plano, about 5 minutes from Stonebriar. It's located in Legacy Town Center which is where you'd find the Marriott at Legacy Town Center . We're looking forward to seeing you all! Read More...
