iWeb Communities: Blog

Last week, Eric and I visited our four data centers to talk with employees about two important issues. Approximately two weeks ago, we launched our new corporate visuals and a new logo. In parallel, we had also worked on an overhaul of our VMV (Vision, Mission and Values) statements which would be launched at the same time.

For both launches, we knew that simply announcing the news to our employees was not enough. We wanted to give a full explanation to put the change into context and to create a verbal exchange, so that everyone could understand the significance of these events. (more…)

The Linux Foundation celebrates 20 years of the Linux operating system. For the occasion an official website was launched at this address: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/20th/.

iWeb is a big fan of Tux, the friendly mascot and it is partly due to Linux that iWeb is what it is today. Indeed, a large majority of our servers and those of our clients, use one flavor of Linux. We are celebrating this anniversary with great pleasure and we also wish to acknowledge the dedication of all the developpers and programmers who, since 1991, have been working hard to make Linux what it is today.
