"We need a full time Community Manager, says Bertrand Maugain VP Marketing at eZ. Nicolas's experience from some the most demanding projects as well as from eZ Labs development team will be very important in that new position. We want to give more information to the community, to enable it to contribute more, to stimulate it too. It is a natural move since the announce of the new Business Partner Program getting more commercially focused." eZ Systems welcomes the recent community initiatives which have contributed to the core of eZ Publish.

Nicolas Pastorino comments, "One of the key

responsibilities of the Community Management team is to help accelerating such a process via a brand new platform, meant to be a central communication means, strongly connected to the currently existing community tools and websites. It will be launched on November 2nd. We are aware that the eZ Publish community is eager to contribute even more and through more activities, initiatives or events we wish to broaden the role of community contributions at eZ Systems."

While eZ is strengthening its position as a leader in the Web Content Management market, this important community move shows the dedication of eZ to its Enterprise Open Source business model. By giving more possibilities to developers, designers, freelancers, eZ also believes that eZ Publish, eZ Flow, eZ Find, existing and future Certified Extensions and more generally eZ software can be better developed and at a greater speed.
