DotNetNuke<\/strong><\/p>\n September was a very busy month for the DotNetNuke project.\u00a0 Shaun Walker, co-founder and Chief Architect of the project, was appointed on the Board of Directors for the Microsoft CodePlex Foundation, where he will lend the expert perspective that helped DotNetNuke become one of the most successful open-source CMS platforms built on the Microsoft technology stack.\u00a0 Last month also saw the launch of the DotNetNuke Fusion Partner Program, a partner program that offers Registered, Certified and Gold memberships to web hosting providers, system integrators, web designers and training partners.\u00a0 The most noteworthy news was DotNetNuke\u2019s anointment as a Network Partner in the Microsoft Website Spark program.<\/p>\n eZ Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n In September 2009, software vendor eZ Systems released version 4.2 of its eZ Publish CMS.\u00a0 This version release emphasizes usability, better performance and more advanced capabilities for built-in search.\u00a0 There are also many new extensions as well as a new version of the eZ Find tool, the company\u2019s innovative search engine.\u00a0 eZ Systems plans to keep

purpose of these gatherings is to bring, developers, system administrators, technical support staff and others together to discuss plugins, add-ons, components and other items that could become Hippo Forge projects.\u00a0 The event is taking place on October 30 at 9 am to 2 pm PDT from the Hippo San Francisco office and 14:00 to 21:00 CET from the Hippo Amsterdam office.\u00a0 Interested parties can also attend the event online.<\/p>\n Movable Type<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest version of Movable Type, 4.32 was just released last week.\u00a0 This version is mainly a bug release fix as it
