Last Wednesday was the second face to face meet up for the SDL Tridion User Group (STUG) for Benelux. The fabulous people at Hinttech hosted the first meet up of 2013 and provided us all with a great evening. Our master or ceremonies was Ingmar Umans who did a great job in making sure the [...]
Recently, Chris Morgan of Building Blocks (a UK SDL partner), penned an article about scaling out the deployer. It is a good article and it is good to see more scaled publishing scenarios being implemented with customers. In SDL Tridion 2009 particularly and 2011 less so, the deployer can be a bottleneck when you are [...]
Sometimes you have a week where you don’t stop. They happen every so often and you don’t really look forward to them. One of mine for 2012 was last week. Whilst I did not look forward to the week in general, the different activities were all expected to be great. It started out with SDL [...]
Day 3 was short as it was the fun, event day for the MVPs. In the morning we continued with our development activities and then wrapped up on the MVP sessions so far as well as the work on the projects. After lunch we headed to the sea to take a ride on an old [...]

I’ve been posting on our upcoming SDL Innovate event with a post on SDL.com, go and check my post called Left on the shelf all covered in dust…
This year I am excited to be once again attending the SDL Innovate conference. Held in Santa Clara, California on 5/6 March, this yearly event is a great coming together of customers, employees and industry experts that are connected in some way to SDL. This year, rather than just attending I will be part of [...]
