Comment on our documentation
One of our favourite features of the online PHP language documentation are the user-contributed comments found at the bottom of any page.
They allow the public to suggest improvements, offer examples, and link to other resources in an obvious and clean manner.
While our documentation has been publicly editable since the beginning, we're pleased to announce that doc.silverstripe.com and api.silverstripe.com now both have page comments enabled.
We're using Disqus to provide this feature, which provides a RSS feed of comments and many other features.

SilverStripe makes Sun news
Sun, who recently purchased MySQL for US $1 billion dollars, were interested to learn more about SilverStripe, and our experience with MySQL and Sun. They were also keen to learn about our involvement with powering the Democratic National Convention website because MySQL powers the database behind it.
A video team covering the MySQL conference interviewed us at the SilverStripe expo hall booth. The footage was completed yesterday and can now be viewed online on the Sun website and youtube:

SilverStripe features in Gold Awards
Last night SilverStripe featured in the Gold Awards ceremony, the premiere annual business awards for Wellington, New Zealand.
We were very humbled to be one of four finalists in the Cybergold category. Winners from the night represented some of the most successful businesses and well-known acts from New Zealand, including our sole New Zealand-owned bank and the Flight of the Conchords comedy act. Congratulations also to our friends at PlanHQ for their win, too.
The night included Prime Minister Helen Clark, who chatted with us about our approach of using open source as a way of quickly growing our market and as a better way to produce software.

SilverStripe overview videos produced
We've made it easier to introduce people to what SilverStripe can do with two new videos showcasing our software. They're designed to be the starting point of people's knowledge with SilverStripe, and lead them to our demo and probe further.
Site editing / content management system overview:
Overview of building websites with SilverStripe:
The videos are based on what we had looping at our expo stand at the recent MySQL Conference. The two videos now feature on our standard SilverStripe overview page.

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.
A number of the press interviewed us, with one interview already available for listening online. Sun, who now owns MySQL interviewed us at the conference, producing a two minute video.
You can watch the fourteen day trip abbreviated to eight minutes:
A huge thanks go to Lenz Grimmer from MySQL for inviting us over, and to many others who helped out with the conference and accomodation. In particular, Manisha Nagrani and Matt Parker for volunteering to help out with our stall.
Congratulations to Ligaya Turmelle for winning one the iPod shuffles we gave away at our stall. Ligaya is the founder of PHP Women, a global community aiming support women to become more heavily involved in the PHP community.

SilverStripe on Business Breakfast show
This morning, SilverStripe featured on the New Zealand national television show, Business Breakfast. It summarises how our open source software led to our involvement in this year's U.S. Democratic National Convention.
The two minute piece also mentions two other SilverStripe websites: TheLowDown.co.nz, a collaborative effort with Oktobor and Draft FCB for the Ministry of Health to combat youth depression, and an upcoming project in partnership with Inform and design company The Church to simplify understanding and joining KiwiSaver, New Zealand's main retirement fund.
