Liferay Unveils New Community

April 5, 2013

Liferay’s efforts of late have centered on their enterprise open source portal. Their most recent announcement is the creation of the Ideation initiative, designed to foster development and creativity. PR Web covers the full story in the article, “Liferay Unveils New Community Ideation Initiative.”

The press release begins:

“Liferay, Inc., provider of the world’s leading enterprise-class open source portal, announced today the launch of a new Ideation initiative designed to foster the development of new products and features for the Liferay Portal platform. The initiative is aimed to empower Liferay’s worldwide community of users, customers and partners to better coordinate the technical resources and business requirements needed to develop new features for Liferay’s products and create new apps.”

Creativity and development underpin open source initiatives across the board. A strong community ensures both qualities. LucidWorks also does a good job of cultivating a strong community through SearchHub, an open source search community resource portal, and commitment to the Apache Lucene Solr project. LucidWorks employs one quarter of the core committers on the project.
