A big thank you to those of you who were able to attend the second in Online Innovative Creation's series of Exponent 2.0 Webinars held last Wednesday. There were 32 of you in attendance, of which we got some very good feedback.

Come one, come all to the next installment of of the Exponent 2.0 Webinar series: “Playing with Matches”. The webinar will start at 9:00am CST on May 27th.

On the 29th of April, Online Innovative Creations presented a webinar showcasing the new and vastly improved features of Exponent 2.0 an the new framework in which it was written on. The event turned out a total 39 attendees, asking a number of very good questions in the question and answer session following the presentation.

The ability to attach files to any type of content is just one of the many new features being showcased in the Exponent 2.0 webinar tomorrow night.

As everyone who's ever signed up for an account on this site is surely aware that yesterday we (OIC Group) sent out an announcement newsletter for our upcoming webinar on the 29th of this month. I'm sure another good handful of you also noticed we that misspelled the word "peek", which was spelled "peak". We had a good laugh over it, despite our itch of frustration that even a thorough comb-over of the content still left us misspelling the subject line itself. We'll let it be what it is though: a testament of our humanity. We do hope that you'll find the common ground there at least, and join us on the 29th for our Exponent 2.0 Kickoff.

Maia Good has taken all of the themes that were previously shipped with 0.96, and converted them to 0.97 themes.

This month, for our first installment of the Exponent Community Shout Out, we're tipping our hat to Maia Good: an avid Exponent user, promoter, contributor, designer, developer, and all around web savant.

The Exponent Development Team is proud to announce the release of Exponent 0.97.0 GA. The code has undergone rigorous testing, bug fixing, and cleanup. We feel this is our best release yet, with many new features and enhancements that continue to make Exponent simple.

The OIC Group has filled their project management position, and is now in search of a Rockstar Developer. 

Packt Publishing is running their 2008 Open Source CMS Awards now.  Please make sure to go and nominate Exponent.  Because of the requirements we are only really in the running for a couple of categories and give us the best chance of making the finals we are asking that all users who want to nominate Exponent CMS nominate it in the Best Open Source PHP CMS category.
