This holiday season, MindTouch is stepping outside the tech sandbox and jumping into nature by helping out some penguins in need with their Adopt-a-Penguin campaign, which launches today.
MindTouch will donate and adopt, from the World Wildlife Fund, an emperor penguin in any company’s name when the company upgrades to MindTouch Standard or Enterprise license from an existing Deki Open Source installation.
There are many reasons to upgrade open source installations to MindTouch Deki Standard and Enterprise (commercial builds), such as a more stable build, a MindTouch-certified stack, additional enterprise adapters and connectors, Microsoft Office integration, and support. And the additional benefit is wrapped in the spirit of giving this holiday season because every MindTouch Deki Open Source user who upgrades to MindTouch Deki Commercial (Deki Standard or Enterprise) will have a donation made on their behalf to the World Wildlife Fund, which will pay to save an endangered emperor penguin.
Penguins are symbolic and represent a lot to many in the open source community, but believe it or not, this magnificent Antarctic bird also means a lot to conservationists, scientists, kids, and more recently, even Hollywood. MindTouch is headquartered in San Diego and many San Diegans, including the MindTouch team, have a special, soft spot for penguins (especially emperor penguins) because SeaWorld, San Diego is one of only two places in the world where emperor penguins are cared for and on exhibit to the public.
Benefits of Upgrading from Open-Source to Deki Commercial:
• Stable build – a Deki Commercial build is the only edition recommended for production environments
• Desktop Suite – Publish from Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Word and benefit from the MindTouch Desktop Connector, which delivers drag-and-drop capabilities to your Microsoft Windows desktop
• Enterprise adapters to enable business automation – Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, Salesforce, SugarCRM and much more
• More features and benefits and product overview and differences
• And best of all, the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you have saved an endangered emperor penguin!
