Thirteen years of GarfNet |1995-08-18 to 2008-08-18

Open source is fantastic! It means we can develop and deploy all manner of goodies that would cost a fortune if we tried to do it using proprietary software. So please stick around for a while and have a good wander about the site. These are some interesting places to visit here at Garfnet... 

• GarfNet Pictures+Media - based on the legendary Coppermine image database system. There's loads of new stuff over there.

• And that lazy old Goose now has his very own Blog, running on the excellent Wordpress blog manager. Just don't take anything he says too seriously! He is a goose after all!
• And there are some cool toys in the tools section, if you like that sort of thing!

This part of GarfNet is powered by an amazing CMS (Content Management System) called Joomla. Derived from the old Mambo CMS - and written by the same group of developers - aparently Joomla means "together" in Swahili. Please click here to learn more and how you can use it on your site, for FREE!

GarfNet is still undergoing some engineering works at the moment. You may find that some links in the new site still take you back to the old site. This is intentional while we transfer the content. The GarfNet "Home" link will always take you back here. Meantime, you can visit our sister site DEOSS. DEOSS now hosts the old GarfNet Moodle distance learning environment as well as dozens of other open source-based projects.
