Day 2 of Enterprise 2.0 is nearly over and I have officially run out of business cards. In the morning, right after breakfast we met Marc Orchant and Michael Sampson, right after it we had a marathon of meetings with analysts, journalists and bloggers. One of the most interesting discussions I had was with Irvin Lazar who told me how big enterprises are increasingly opening up to Enterprise 2.0 technology and how independent teams deploy this technology without awaiting aproval from their CIOs.

At the demo booth I had around 100 presentations, talks and met a lot of interesting people. Stephan's presentation went extraordinarily well, and I dont't need to tell you, as Alex already wrote it: Mindquarry GO is out and you can apply from today for a hosted Mindquarry server provided by Mindquarry.

Finally I met Matt and Greg of Jive Software which gave me a demo on Clearspace X, a really cool proprietary software that combines blogging, wiki and file sharing.

Enterprise 2.0, Day 1

Boston is a great city. I am always impressed when I visit a city that has an actual skyline. Living in germany this is something I am not used to see every day. Today I got up much to early thanks to my european inner clock. The conference took an slow start, but I had no time to visit any of the tutorials even if Michael Sampson's Mindmaps on the IT Manager 2.0 look really interesting.

I spent most of my time getting Mindquarry 1.2 ready to be demoable tomorrow, dealing with support questions on the forum, helping Nadia with internationalization of Mindquarry (Yes, I would love to see a Japanese version of Mindquarry) and meeting interesting people with interesting blogs I have to subscribe to.

We just released Mindquarry 1.1 the latest version of our open source collaboration platform. Since 1.1-beta we have fixed lots of bugs, updated documentation and changed the design of some dialogs slightly. Since 1.0 we have added lots of new features including timelines for all content, an AJAX-powered interface, a better WYSIWYG Wiki editor and some more things I already blogged about when Mindquarry 1.1-beta was out. In other news, I will go to Boston this weekend and for the whole next week, because Mindquarry presents at [Enterprise 2.0. I am very excited, not only because I am visiting the united states for the first time, but also because I am going to present some new features in that will be part of Mindquarry 1.2.

If you are visiting Enterprise 2.0, please send me a mail, I would be delighted to meet you, present our new features and talk about collaboration, open source and web technology.
