Brent Ashley and I have been looking forward to some notes from OSCOM2. As noted earlier, Brent is doing some interesting stuff with OpenSource CMS and making inroads to BigCo. We're both interested in seeing how the OpenSource solutions are maturing and what trends are emerging in the marketplace.

James Robertson has been keeping track of OSCOM2 developments and points to a variety of news and notes:

Happenings at OSCOM2.
It sounds like there were some interesting things happening at the Second Open Source Content Management Conference (OSCOM2). Several reports have been published on Content-Wire:

Tom Weiss writes his first impressions from the conference,
he then goes on to report on day 1
and finally day 2 of the conference.
(Open-source CMSs are the topic of an upcoming article of mine, titled Ten reasons to consider an open-source CMS, which will be released in the next couple of months.)
More interest from OSCOM2.
The Open Source CMS conference (OSCOM2) has generated quite a bit of interest in the media, which is encouraging. Shelley Doll interviews two of the leading open-source advocates on their thoughts about content management systems. To quote:

I've been on the analyst conference calls, and open source just isn't on the radar at all. Why? Instead of complaining about a Roswell-like conspiracy, we need to change the equation ourselves. The benefits we bring to content management customers are important, and we need to deliver the message.
