Hi, I’m Austin Godber.  You may remember me from such JumpBox films as “The Amazing JumpBox Forums”, “JumpBox Support Squad”, and everyone’s favorite “JumpBox Platform Release Notes”. I will be out in the world teaching a class this Friday, October 10th, at the Ohio Linux Fest University.  The classes are put on by the League of [...]

We love to read stories like this one where a DIY-minded person was able to capitalize on the JumpBox technology and put it to work in a new and inventive way.  In this particular case a teacher divided his class of 75 students into small groups and gave each its own Joomla instance for a hands-on [...]

Integrum Technologies a Ruby on Rails consulting house and home of Gangplank ran into a little trouble with their network and found the JumpBox for Cacti just what they needed to get it resolved. Have you ever used a JumpBox to solve an unusual problem? If so we’d love to hear about it.

So here at work, we’re in the process of developing a new web site for our subscribers. We’ve decided to implement the site atop the SilverStripe Content Management System, as we’ve found it to be incredibly flexible and easy to use. It’s based on a powerful MVC framework that’s written in PHP. [...]
