Daydream (www.daydream.co.uk), leading Open Source Enterprise Digital Asset Management (DAM) specialists have released a whitepaper that describes a number of best practice techniques IT professionals can use to ensure that DAM is implemented successfully in large or medium sized enterprises.
The report condenses Daydream's experiences of the enterprise DAM market into a report packed with useful advice, checklists and best practice guidelines that will provide IT managers with a useful framework for developing their Digital Asset Management strategy.
The subjects covered include:
<ul>
<li>The benefits DAM systems can offer</li>
<li>Outsourcing vs Insourcing: How to decide which is best</li>
<li>A typical DAM project team: staffing requirements</li>
<li>Roles and responsibilities for IT managers</li>
<li>The importance of training to successful implementations</li>
<li>Hosting, support and maintenance of DAM systems</li>
<li>Selecting a vendor: what to consider</li>
</ul>
Ralph Windsor, Managing Director of Daydream said:
<blockquote>
“Although most DAM systems tend to be procured by marketing departments, we have found that IT managers are frequently asked to act as internal consultants and advise on best practice. There is a limited amount of information available about what to expect at an enterprise level and how to formulate an effective strategy.”
</blockquote>
Windsor continues:
<blockquote>
“Many IT managers may wrongly assume DAM to either simply about storage facilities or the same as ECM systems like SharePoint. This can be problematic when they come to discuss requirements with marketers. In this report, we aim to dispel some myths and present practical advice for successfully delivering DAM whether using internal or outsourced resources.”
</blockquote>
The 30 page report: “Enterprise Digital Asset Management for IT Professionals” is being made available free of charge via the reports section on Daydream's website: <a href="http://www.daydream.co.uk/reports.asp">http://www.daydream.co.uk/reports.asp</a>

A security issue was introduced with phpBB 3.07 which allowed users to bypass permission settings if any of the following conditions were met:
<ul>
<li>Feeds are enabled</li>
<li>Any of the posts or topics feeds are enabled</li>
<li>The unauthorised user – or one of the groups they are a member of – have forum permissions set on a private forum</li>
<li>If you have excluded a forum from the list of forums that provide feeds, it is unaffected</li>
</ul>
The full announcement:
<blockquote>
We are sorry to announce the immediate release of phpBB 3.0.7-PL1 to address a security issue which was introduced in 3.0.7, unfortunately the issue wasn't noticed during testing and has only surfaced a week after the release of 3.0.7.
We promised working feeds for phpBB 3.0.7. Sadly, we were not able to deliver on that promise – a critical bug in the permission handling for feeds slipped past. To all people who already have updated to 3.0.7, it is of critical importance to update to 3.0.7-PL1.
</blockquote>
You can do so by downloading the latest release from <a href="http://www.phpbb.com/downloads/">their website</a>.

<a href="http://www.vyre.com">VYRE</a> Ltd, developer of award winning content management platform VYRE Unify, is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with publishing software specialist Wave2 Media Solutions Ltd. The two companies have signed an OEM agreement for VYRE to license Wave2’s core product, The Wave2 Publishing Platform, for integration within VYRE Unify.
The Wave2 Publishing Platform is a highly scalable and powerful rules engine for the automatic creation of any type of document from simple display ads through to highly creative layouts and complex multi page documents. It allows publishers, marketers and content providers to create their own advertising and marketing material whilst enabling them to both save costs and generate new revenue.
Chris Hodges, founder of Wave2, says. “We are very pleased to have formed this relationship with VYRE. The combination of the Wave2 Publishing Platform and the VYRE Unify product will create an unbeatable solution for anyone needing to implement a multimedia brand management service. From the very beginning of our discussions with VYRE, it was obvious to us that our respective products would be a perfect fit. They share the same architecture and technology, as well as complement each other perfectly in terms of functionality. As a result, the integration work is already very advanced”
VYRE is integrating The Wave2 Publishing Platform into its next release of VYRE Unify version 4.5.1 to provide its own automated creative functions.  VYRE Unify 4.5.1 will be available in spring 2010.
Andy Peters, CEO of VYRE, explains: “Integrating this kind of technology into the VYRE Unify platform has been a part of the overall development strategy for a while, but finding the right partner and solution was key. We looked at more than 25 different partners before we decided on Wave2. In the end it had become increasingly clear that Wave2 stood out head and shoulders above the competition, for all sorts of reasons: the flexibility of the solution, the development environment, the attitude of Wave2 themselves and the understanding that they brought to the table of our needs and our clients’ all being critical.”
Andy continues: “We have had a number of clients express a need for this technology, and we are confident that, as an integrated component of VYRE Unify, we will be able to deliver fast, efficient, high quality and highly cost effective solutions to our clients that will allow them to gain more control over the production of their marketing and other collateral. It will improve their speed to market, their overall production quality, their brand consistency, their bottom line and ease their workload. We are delighted to be working with Wave2.”

Generis has released version 3 of its <a href="http://www.generiscorp.com/cara.html">CARA</a> product – the world's full functionality document management web application that provides a single interface to all CMIS-compliant repositories. Generis has released CARA3 for Documentum, SharePoint and Alfresco, with releases for the file system, FileNet and LiveLink in the coming months.

Each repository implementation also features many additional features not yet part of the CMIS specification.
Built on the Google Web Toolkit, using the <a href="http://www.extjs.com">EXT JS</a> extensions CARA3 provides full authoring, review, approval and publishing functionality to end users together with:
<ul>
