So, what do we mean by a “platform approach” to digital asset management?

• A “digital asset” models the business concept it represents – more than a simple audio, video, or image file, it can be a complex object, with relationships to other objects and custom metadata.

Since it’s the start of the new year, we decided to interview Xavier Foucault – the man in charge of keeping Nuxeo’s workings running smoothly as the Vice President of Operations.

We have a lot of information to share with developers, and we wanted to make it easier for them to see the big picture. So, we created the For Developers page.

This page answers your many questions about Nuxeo, such as “How do I get the source code?” and “What do you use for load testing?” and “How can I contribute back to the Nuxeo community?” It also is a good place to discover how we approach software development, what tools we use, what learning resources we provide, and what external projects we’re involved in. You may come to the conclusion that we are a bunch of geeks. We hope you feel at home.
