The webinos cross platform open source project launches the Affiliates Programme and Present Technologies becomes its first member

Berlin, August 1 2011 – The EU webinos project and Fraunhofer FOKUS are excited to announce that Present Technologies – a Portuguese innovation company providing world-class services for the Enterprise and Mobile environment – has become the first member of the webinos Affiliates Programme, which was launched today.

The creation of webinos’s Affiliates Programme represents the first step in webinos opening up its Open Source development. The Project seeks membership from any company or research organisation interested in contributing to the development of a secure web based platform targeted at PCs, mobiles, tablets, in car (automotive) and home media (TV systems).

Present Technologies believe that joining will create natural synergy and advantage.

“We are committed to the creation of IT solutions, based on new and proven Open Source technologies and webinos is an obvious strategic partner for us. We are delighted to mark the opening of the Affiliates Programme with becoming the inaugural member.” (Victor Batista, Present Technologies)

“Present Technologies are the initial external affiliate to join in what we hope will be the first of many like-minded innovative companies.  The coming together of the four screens heralds a positive disruptive change in not one but four distinct industries. Our coders are making great strides and by working in a collaborative way we hope to offer real competitive advantage to our external company affiliates,” says Stephan Steglich, Project co-ordination (Fraunhofer FOKUS)

Nick Allott, Chief Architect of the project adds “Open source is about collaboration. We hope Present technologies will be the first of many. We invite all companies who believe in HTML5, DAP and the future of the web as an application platform, to join us and help create these essential technologies collaboratively, for all to share equally.”
