Stackato Adds Mobile App & Heroku Buildpack Support

This month, we have announced two exciting additions to Stackato.

A joint collaboration between Stackato and FeedHenry's mobile application development platform means that enterprises have a unified solution to develop, deploy and manage both web and mobile applications in a private cloud.

We've now also provided a migration path for Heroku users. With Heroku buildpack support, you can move applications between Heroku and Stackato using the same buildpacks.

An in-depth review of Komodo IDE 7 has been posted on the blog neurobashing.com. The review goes into such topics as major editing features, XUL extensibility and Vi emulation.

Your ActivePerl license assessment

To view this email as a web page, click here

ActiveState Software

Hi sherly,

With the popularity of ActivePerl Community Edition, some of the common questions we get are about the implications and risks of using open source-based software--especially with recent copyright and IP lawsuits involving some of the large software vendors.

So we wanted to offer a free assessment to discuss your use of ActivePerl to see what options are right for you. As a commercial open-source vendor, we've been working with small and large organizations, and can help you as well.

For example, we can offer guidance on questions such as:

  • Is it OK to use Community Edition for my use case, or should I be considering a different license?
  • Could my use of ActivePerl be violating any of the open source licenses?
  • How much indemnification is enough risk mitigation?
  • Will my use of ActivePerl impact my customers' business?
  • How can I plan around end-of-life of older versions to minimize risk?

If you are wondering about any of these questions, contact me for a free assessment of your licensing needs.

Could you please let me know when would be a good time for a quick call?

Sincerely,

Fred Nayyer
