Nextide is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the nexPro Portal suite of products for the Geeklog Community. A complete range of standard as well as custom services are also available to address your support requirements. We, at Nextide, have been using Geeklog as a base development framework for our client projects over the past few years. This has given us the opportunity to create a pre-integrated version of Geeklog and nexPro Portal. In addition, nexPro Portal includes a number of components that are well suited for business oriented applications as well as community sites.

Some of the key new plugins and features include:

  • nexForm: Dynamic online forms and Form Editor
  • nexFlow: workflow engine to automate form review, approval and business processes
  • nexFile: Document management with version control and advanced admin features
  • nexList: List administration and used as core admin tool for other plugins
  • nexMenu: Dynamic site menu administration
  • pre-integrated with the forum and the captcha plugins
Visit us at www.nextide.ca We are also announcing the first of our premium plug-in products, nexContent which is a full featured content management solution that allows you to take full control of your site content and block layout. All of the content on our new site has been done with nexContent (excluding the wiki). We are planning to release more premium solutions in the months to come. The next premium product scheduled for release is the nexPro Project Management plug-in.

Nextide is offering several levels of support that includes remote support, updates and telephone support for your critical sites.

The site has been designed to provide you with several means of product evaluation. There are product overviews, video tutorials and wiki documentation to help you get familiar with our solutions. Please post any questions and feedback on our site in the forums and we will promptly follow-up.

We hope that you will find the time to visit our site and explore how these solutions can help you.

Many of my regular site members and clients know that my day job is as a consultant and partner at Nextide Inc here in Mississauga. We develop web-based applications with a focus on web-based business oriented applications. Over the past few years, we ... [read more]

Well, it seems that Geeklog is the next victim of money, this has really nothing to do with this nice open source cms/blog.

And I doubt anyone will pay that amount of money for a CMS with a realy old fashioned table-based layout. I also notice that it's look like a commercial fork of Geeklog, the same URL's etc.

Blaine, my opinion is that you'll have to explain a bit about this to the community. For the moment, I have a very strange feeling about it....

I felt the same way. Follow-up in my forum post here if you like. Forums are a better place to have a conversation.

Looks like an awesome product. ...and personally I like the price. I've seen similar, even less robust products at 300% more than nexPro.

No, he doesn't have to explain anything and nobody fell victim to money.
"Open source" doesn't mean nobody should be able to make any money ever.
Open source is simply a way of collaborating on something, not an ethical anti-commercial statement or whatever.
Blaine contributes to the open source community as an open source developer. If his other work is related to Geeklog, then it is not a problem for the rest of us. The stuff he makes in the open source project is still open source.

I'm aware of the fact that Blaine did a lot for the GL community, and I appreciate that very, very much. I also do not want to stop the succes of his commercial activities, but that doesn't mean it's OK to promote these commercial projects in a featured story on the homepage of Geeklog.net.

Of course it's fine to mention it, of put a banner somewhere, but this story is only written to promote nexPro, and makes a commercial site of Geeklog.net.

I guess that about 25% of the members have commercial activities, so you think it's OK if they all start writing stories to promote their commercial activities on the homepage of Geeklog?

Actually, I think it can only provide a boost to GL in general. I'm surprised that you can't see that.

Anyone remember the GPL?

If he created works for his clients using an open-source project, all works derived from the open-source code are subject to the same limitations per the GPL when redistribiting those works

Who owns the code
If Blaine was paid by XYZ to create a work , then unless otherwise specified the work would belong to XYZ

To further complicate matters
If the work is now Distributed, the GPL takes president over XYZ claim of ownership

Dont know much about this but isn't nextide released under GPL? and it's the support and extra features you must pay the service fee for.

As I say I know little about these things but I am sure Blaine will clarify.

Nextide is our company name so we as empoyees are not under GPL but yes, the product nexPro and nexContent and coming soon nexProject are. The product nexPro includes a number of other plugins. We have tried to describe our products and services on our site well but did expect some questions. You are paying for our services when you buy nexPro, which includes the service to distribute and provide support above and beyond adhoc community support.

I encourage anyone with serious questions to signup on our site and ask questions in our forum.
