Same software, new package

So, the good idea of last week (Friday specifically) was the concept of repackaging a number of our existing (and some new) products into a single suite. This will allow for better user experience when launching our products. It will also provide us with a good way to control per-seat or group license permissions.

The real beauty? Leveraging Eclipse Rich Client Platform for the interface. This exposes a whole world of open-source plug-ins and already developed tools for using with our new product. This solution will also give us the ability to construct a more cohesive sales and marketing approach (hallelujah).

I also learned last week there are some major Ruby groupies out there - and most of them seem to use Mac's. The Birmingham Tech Mixer was really pretty decent, better attendance than I expected anyway.
