• Professional Website developers - Your customers have shifting demands and it's good to know you have access to a wide variety of professional quality extensions, and the same quality service backing them up, so you can be confident in the quality of your own products
• Hobbyists - You want to be able to try out a massive variety of well coded Joomla extensions and study them to improve your skills

London, England, 17 April, 2008 - Nooku, an open source GPL licenced extension that enables multi-lingual capability of Joomla! 1.5, provides more power and flexibility for publishers wanting to reach more than one language.

Nooku lead architect Johan Janssens said Nooku empowers Joomla! publishers and effectively provides an enterprise benchmark. "Nooku will transform the open source multi-lingual market," he said. "Our partners are at the core of our strategy to create leading localisation / CMS solutions."

Pete Q. Scott,please explain the journey that has seen you involved in Open Source?
Scott A. As the co-founder of article 27, we spent lots of time thinking how to break into a software market with established players. At the time, I advocated an open source model, but we could not build a supporting business model. That decision, and subsequent exit of the company, provided the challenge for me to build a business plan which would support open source software for my next company. We decided on a services model with M3 MediaServices, now part of Unanimis Consulting. We built upon OpenX software (which was open source), and released a hosted service based upon the software.

Q. How do you reconcile Open Source and the commercial path OpenX is taking?
A. When starting OpenX we decided to not charge for software or services, but instead charge advertisers a percentage if we connect them with one of our publishers. Because OpenXcharges advertisers, our publishers seem to be fine with this as long as OpenX continues to maximise the value that their inventory is worth.

Q. How many developers do you have on board and where are they based?
A. We have around 15 full-time developers based in Europe (London, Poland, Italy), and other community developers based around the world.

Q. What does OpenX do for publishers and why would they want to use it opposed to just AdSense?
A. Publishers like to use OpenX to deliver advertising from ad networks like AdSense. This way, they have technology which gives them independent statistics on how their campaigns are performing as well as the ability to control numerous advertisers and ad networks simultaneously so that the maximum revenue can be achieved.
