CardMeeting Dispatch

Hello CardMeeting users,

It's been a blockbuster year! Why not buy yourselves a shiny CardMeeting server as a holiday gift to celebrate?

I'm not blind, I can see what's going on with the stock market, and I know earnings are up up up for a lot of you tycoons. I figure you don't want to blow out your numbers too badly this quarter, right? There's only one thing to do: spend! Spend like there's no tomorrow! Spend like it's 1999! :) What I'm really saying is, you need to buy yourself your very own CardMeeting server! Heck, why not buy one for each department in your company? Act fast, the quarter will be over before you know it!

Here are just some of the benefits of running your own CardMeeting server:

• 100% Security, Privacy, and Reliability!
  • Your private CardMeeting data is stored on your corporate servers and not on Woldrich, Inc. servers! (Think corporate off-site data storage standards here.)
  • Your CardMeeting data can be covered by your enterprise backup systems, safe from disaster!
• Speed and Scale are finally yours!
  • No more klunky US-based internet connection or limited server resources holding you and your card-related dreams back
  • Your mighty corporate IT resources can scale CardMeetings to new heights! Host 100+ concurrent users in a CardMeeting!
• 1st class citizenship, throw off your beta tester shackles and own your deployments!
  • Users on the web site work for you, testing CardMeeting to perfection in real world scenarios
  • You can QA/UA test CardMeeting yourself before rolling it into your production environment

I recognize CardMeeting is not feature complete. However, CardMeeting is finally showing the stability and performance that I have aspired to reach since its creation. By end of year, I will ship a server that would be worthy of your enterprise. Finally, some very useful features are on the horizon for CardMeeting in 2008 that might help you with your decision:

• Multi-card selections so that users can move groups of cards
• Standardized user logins
  • No more confusing community-based logon system
  • Each of your users will have an LDAP username and password
  • Better meeting access controls, access to meetings allowed by invite only
• More meeting doodads like billboard titles and tape lines so people can layout proper scrum/agile walls

If you're interested in hosting your very own CardMeeting server in 2008, please drop me a line at your earliest convenience: dave@woldrich.com.

Thank you for using CardMeeting,
Dave Woldrich
