Midgard turns 10 - Ten Years of Better Web

The Midgard Project is celebrating its 10th Anniversary on May 8th 2009. Midgard 1.0.0 was released in 1999, starting the free software project:

The Midgard Project has finally released the first public version of Midgard Application Server Suite. The new release contains Midgard core libraries, a PHP3-based web application server for the Apache platform and the needed web-based administration tools.

Midgard is freely-available platform for creating powerful web applications. It is fully based on Open Source software, giving you freedom to create your solutions in an open environment. Midgard is the tool for creating, modifying and maintaining dynamic database-enabled web services.

Midgard already has a quite good set of features for creating powerful web sites, and is being used with successful results by some commercial and uncommercial organizations. But this is not where the development will end; rather, the development team also has more ambitious goals about revolutionizing the way people think about web development.

Midgard developer Henri Bergius has posted a blog entry about the occasion.

You can join the celebrations either in Helsinki, Finland, or by telling about your first Midgard experiences on Qaiku.
