Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Australian search engine and online media company Ansearch Limited (ASX:ANH) has acquired Mambo Communities Pty Ltd, a company which runs a community of websites for open source Mambo software developers.
Mambo Communities was set up by Peter Lamont, one of the founding
developers of the open source Mambo content management system, to
service the growing community of Mambo users worldwide through its
network of Mambo websites. The websites provide discussion forums,
galleries of Mambo sites, news, documentation and Mambo related
plug-ins and templates to assist software developers.
“This acquisition is a part of the growth of our network of owned,
licensed and third party websites. The agreement with Mambo Communities
allows Ansearch to provide our search, directories and online media
services to a new global audience,” said Dean Jones, CEO of Ansearch.
“Ansearch will support the Mambo Open Source community by investing in
resources to assist in the continued growth and success of Open Source
software projects. We are committed to ensuring the Mambo Open Source
community flourishes by providing development portals and sponsoring
events for Mambo and its developers.”
Peter Lamont, CEO of Mambo Communities Pty Ltd, said: “While open
source software itself is free, it is universally accepted that it is
imperative to have financially sound commercial support. The
involvement of commercial enterprises like Ansearch ensures continued
funding for future growth and development of open source projects
around the world.”
Mambo was orginally the content management system that powered iTWire.
However, most of the members of the core Mambo development team
resigned in August 2005 after a dispute with Mr Lamont and his company
Miro over the direction and stewardship of future Mambo development.
The breakaway core development team released a fork open source content
management system called Joomla, which has won over many former Mambo
devotees.
