Diem is hiring!

October 26, 2010 by 4levels

As some of you might have noticed in the Google group, Diem is changing its core developers.

Thibault, Diem's founder and spiritual father, is no longer able to maintain Diem full time. Therefore a new team is being formed to maintain this beautiful OpenSource CMS and it's community to support the many websites using Diem today.

In a first phase, Thibault granted all admin access to 4levels (myself) and Stéphane. We're both very honored to take on this challenge and have nothing but the best intentions with Diem as we both use it for our own projects and clients. But since neither of us is able to maintain Diem full time as well, we're looking for people to keep Diem and its community as alive as before.

Things to do

Setup a team

We're looking for passionate people to do all kind of things:

  • Find issues and fix them from a core developers point of view
  • Enhance Diem by creating / updating challenging plugins and core improvements
  • Write and update documentation on how Diem is used
  • Moderate our community to have a helpful and active forum
  • ...

As we are in the middle of starting to bundle our efforts together, please allow us some time to catch up with the many things to do ;-)

Plot a road map

We need a clear vision on the future of Diem as OpenSource CMS. A decent release planning will be necessary as the new team comes from various directions and has different views and needs on how Diem should be. Therefore we created a new Forum Diem Team / Release planning where we can discuss and determine a solid view on what's next.

Things to consider

Diem today

Diem is a great CMS: it has the skills and the right method's to quickly develop a nice web-application, it's easy to maintain and fun to play around with. It's powerful extensions of symfony and Doctrine allow you as developer to use both projects to the fullest. With it's nice and tested plugins, lots of extra functionalities are available with very little effort, leading your project to it's targets in no time!

The future of Diem / symfony / Doctrine

As symfony is being metamorphosed to symfony2 and Doctrine to Doctrine2, everything in the Diem CMS core needs to be transformed in order to use these next-gen frameworks as supposed to be. This task is far more complex than a simple rewriting / refactoring run on the Diem core plugins. Everything literally needs to be rewritten from scratch as all the fundamentals have changed.

A lot of talented developers, including Diem's very own Thibault, coming from different PHP opensource CMS projects have now teamed up to found a new Content Management Framework, named symfony-cmf, based on symfony2/Doctrine2. Check the Google group symfony-cmf-devs for more insights on the status and activities..

Maintaning Diem in it's optimal state

Enhancing Diem with tons of extra built-in features goes beyond it's purpose: Diem should remain the barebone core CMS it is today. Extra features can perfectly be implemented as plugins as everything in Diem is configurable and extensible because it's clean code usage of symfony. Plugins can be easier reviewed, tested and maintaned and allow us to chose on a per project base which features we want, keeping Diem as the clean, fast core CMS we need. Naturally, new development is always welcome and greatly encouraged for all of us to learn.

Thanks to all for your support and interest in Diem!

    Cialis is a widely recognised erectile dysfunction treatment that has become even more successful than Viagra.
    Cialis generic contains tadalafil, which is an extremely effective and long-lasting impotent cure. Unlike other ed dysfunction treatments, [url=http://1cialis20mg.com/]buy cialis online[/url]
    starts working very quickly and has longer-lasting benefits. A single cialis dosage promotes healthy, comfortable and controllable erections for many hours.
    Over 8 million men worldwide have used [url=http://1cialis20mg.com/]cialis[/url]
    . It’s been widely clinically tested, and is proven to have only minor – if any – side effects. For people suffering from erectile dysfunction, impotence is now a thing of the past with cialis.

    Cialis ® 20mg film-coated tablets

    The active substance is [url=http://1cialis20mg.com/]cialis price[/url]
    . Each tablets of Cialis ® contains 20mg of tadalafil. The other ingredients are:
    Tablet Core: lactose monohydrate, croscarmellose sodium, hydroxyproplycellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium laurilsulfate, magnesium stearate.
    Film-Coat: lactose monohydrate, hypromellose, triacetin, titanium dioxide (E171), iron oxide yellow (E172), talc.

    WHAT CIALIS IS AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR:

    Cialis ® comes as yellow film-coated tablets. They are in the shape of almonds and have "C 20" marked on one side. These tablets are available in blister packs containing 2, 4 or 8 tablets.
    Cialis ® is a treatment for men with erectile dysfunction. This is when a man cannot get, or keep a hard, erect penis suitable for sexual activity.
    Cialis ® belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors. Following sexual stimulation [url=http://1cialis20mg.com/]buy cialis no prescription[/url]
    works by helping the blood vessels in your penis to relax, allowing the flow of blood into your penis. The result of this is improved erectile function. Cialis ® will not help you if you do not have erectile dysfunction. It is important to note that Cialis ® does not work if there is no sexual stimulation. You and your partner will need to engage in foreplay, just as you would if you were not taking a medicine for erectile dysfunction.
