On monday october 27th, the TWiki project was changed dramatically by a US-based venture capital start-up TWiki.net. The changes forced the development community to continue the project under a different name.
Sonologic supports the new project. At the same time, we continue support for the legacy TWiki codebase. Existing customers may at their option continue to use TWiki or switch over to the new project.

Existing services will continue to operate uninterrupted.

As the first business to do so, Sonologic is sponsoring the second european PGDay, a meeting of PostgreSQL minded businesses and users in Prato, Italy. We hope this meeting of like-minded will strengthen the european PostgreSQL community. Sonologic is the leading provider of commercial PostgreSQL support in The Netherlands.

PostgreSQL is the most powerful and fully open source relational database management system (DBMS). More and more, corporations and organisations discover the power of PostgreSQL. Driven away from commercial solutions such as oracle and informix by inflexible license-fee schemes, they embrace the freedom of deployment the open-source PostgreSQL offers.

As of today, Sonologic is part of the worldwide NTP server pool. NTP is a protocol used to synchronise time across servers on any network. Currently, the server ntp.sonologic.nl can be queried as a stratum-3 server. Work is underway to provide a stratum-2 or even stratum-1 server in the near future.

At the same time, Sonologic has provided a server to the freenode project, a worldwide Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network dedicated to open source projects. The server is in use as a hub server, strengthening the backbone of this popular network.

The Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure reports: “Our sources inside ISO report that ISO is preparing to announce the results of the OOXML vote to be “NO”. These sources cannot be identified, and the result is not official. However our own figures support this. Seventeen participating ISO member bodies voted No, with eighteen voting Yes. According to ISO rules, 2/3 are required to vote Yes for a proposal to pass. Other contributors report fifteen or sixteen No votes, not seventeen.”

Slashdot reports: “An article on the Computerworld site quotes polling results from a potentially-divisive PatchLink survey. The poll shows that the majority of enterprise customers feel there are no compelling security enhancements in Windows Vista, that they have no plans to migrate to it in the near term and that many will ‘either stick with the Windows they have, or turn to Linux or Mac OS X’. A majority, 87%, said they would stay with their existing version of Windows. This comes on the heels of a dissenting view of Vista’s track record in the area of security at the six month mark, which sparked a heated discussion on numerous forums.”
