You can read the news release at: http://www.e-smith.com/article.php3?sid=50&mode=threaded&order=0 We have also prepared a FAQ that answers questions we know people may have about how this relates to our open source activities: http://www.e-smith.org/article.php3?sid=48&mode=threaded&order=0 We are very excited about this new chapter in the e-smith story as it offers the potential for further development resources and some very cool integration features. From a development perspective, nothing really has changed. We still have the same technical team. We are still creating an open source server product with an open architecture that you all can enhance and customize. The difference is that we are now part of a larger organization with more resources and capabilities. That's the scoop...
