Connecting people together: The driving force of ImpressCMS

There are a few things I strongly believe in. I strongly believe that the most important thing in life is family. I strongly believe in the open source philosophy. I strongly believe that we need to better take care of our planet if we want to still be here in the long run " /> And I absolutely, whole-heartedly believe in the truly amazing power of people connecting with each other !

Every time one person meet another person, there is, at the very least, one chance of something interesting, something creative, something funny, or just “something” to happen. And then, when those two people will each meet one other person, the same thing might happen, and so on, and so on. Every time two people meet, share something, exchange ideas, something great can happen ! Now imagine what happen when a hundred people connect together, when one thousand people or ten thousand people connect together ! The effect is exponential !

People. People connecting with each other. This is the true asset of an open source project. It is not code, it is not developers, it is the people. The people using the software, the people creating the software, the people helping each other, the people solving problems, the people creating greatness !

This is what ImpressCMS is, and this is what it will strive to be at all time. In order to help us achieve this, we are using and will push as far as we can, every tools at our disposal.
