So as Aaron showed you, this is the
tendenci.com homepage. I'm going to show
you a couple of sites that are actually
using Tendenci. So this is Think LA's
web site, we highlighted them a little
bit. They have events, they have photos
You can see they have a job listing, they
do videos, and it's software that is
powered by Tendenci to create revenue, to
build interest, and to generate, as Aaron
said, the kind of the feed management
earning dollars for a non-profit. You can
have paid job postings, paid events. This
is an example of a membership
application that was built with the
newest latest version of Tendenci, and it
has fully customizable forms, any
information that you want to capture. We
want this to be required, and we want
people to have to enter this, and we want
to give these kind of instructions over
here - all that is part of the software
It's all something you're able to do, and
it's all something that's built right in
that you can easily go in say I want my
members to pay this much money, I want it
to last every year, I want them to renew,
and I want to have them fill out this
basic information. So one of the other
aspects of it is a job board, another way
that an organization or nonprofit can
generate revenue. Here we have an
organization that's based out of New
York, and they are solely focused on the
culinary industry - jobs for chefs, jobs
for people in the front house, in the
back house, and I was kind of amazed how
much I learned about the restaurant
industry that I didn't know just from
browsing their job list. They have the
option of offering premium postings, and
you can see one of their big focuses is
on the location of the job. They have
people now expanding all over the
country, where previously they were only
in New York. Another aspect of Tendenci
is the full event calendar. Here we
see the Miller Outdoor Theater, which is
here in Houston. If you haven't seen it
you should check it out, and you can see
they have a full calendar of event. s I'm
able to hover over these and get a little
bit more information about it. I can
click on these and travel to that event
page, find out when the play that I want
to see is showing at the outdoor theater
or find out the next thing for Theater
Under the Stars. This is an actual event
page from Think La. One of the things I'd
like to highlight on this page, you'll
see the speakers rotating, there's PDF
bios that you can download if you're
interested in attending this event.
You'll see in the side we've got some
different prices. So one of the areas in
the previous versions of Tendenci, you
could create prices. Here you're able to
do that quickly and easily all from the
same one page where you enter in your
event. We see here I'm not able to select
the member because I'm not logged in, I'm
not a member. Log in for member discounts
so that I can get those prices. And kind
of finally, just to showcase, this is our
Schipul.com website, and as a company
that eats our own dog food, it is of
course also powered by Tendenci. Now, one thing
that's a little different from
Schipul than the other organizations
I've highlighted is that we are a
for-profit business, we're not a
non-profit association, but you can see
that the the built-in core on the power of
Tendenci allows for a lot of dynamic
content. We're able to add content in one
place and show it in many different
areas across the site. Almost every
aspect of our homepage is content that's
been entered in one place and pulled
somewhere else, and we're able to focus
on little special things, like we have a
quotes plug-in that we use because we've
our CEO's collected quotes over time, and
it's something that is now fairly
important in our company's culture to
have a quote of the day. So, with all this
as Aaron mentioned, newer technology,
lower prices, higher needs - all of that
we're able to offer a much lower price of
thirty nine dollars, and the way that
we're able to do that is a bit different
than in the past. For the Tendenci
customers clients that are in the room
now, you probably remember
you walked through a proposal
process, you met with a salesperson, we
did a demo and all that. So today we're
very excited to announce that you can
sign up for your own Tendenci site
online
So this initial launch is a bit of a
beta launch, we're not going to load out
hundreds and thousands of sites
immediately. We're kind of doing a slow
rollout. So you'll see there is a sign up
code, they're required. I'm going to type
in a signup code that I know, so if you
are interested in getting a site you
might want to write this down. It's
SchipulCon, actually it's not that.
SchipulCon asterisks 2011 asterisk rocks.
So schipulcon*2011*rocks
will be a sign up code that you can use
today to sign up for your very own
Tendenci site. We've got a couple of
themes that your site will launch
with, so it won't look like just an empty
page, it'll have some things. I actually
have one that I created in a
presentation earlier this morning.
Named my site cool biz, and I'll show you the,
named my site cool biz, it's at cool biz.
tendenciapp.com. I get these different
areas pulled in, and when I log in I get
some little admin notes that help me
to control the content, so if I don't
need business strategy or talking
points, I'm instructed how I can change
those things and make those things a
little bit different. You'll see we've
got some feeder content filled in
already. Right now I think we've got
three of these themes built. We're
developing more and more pretty much
every day, actually. So I'd encourage you
to, once again, if you want to check it
out go to signup.tendenciapp.com,
pick a website name. You need an email
address. For now we're launching for a
30-day free trial, so if you sign up
today you won't have to pay anything. You
can sign up, get your site, test it out
play around with it. If you've got any
questions on hey how do I do this, come
find a Schipulite. You can come find me,
my name is J-Mo, and I'd be glad to show
you a little bit more about the software
and help you out. And actually, if you are
interested in it right now, at the 1:00
session I'm doing a talk on
building smart websites, partially using
Tendenci, so you won't want to miss out
on that one. Other than that, we're very
excited today to be launching this. Tt's
been a long time in the making
internally in our company, it's been
something that we've been wanting to
build and pushed, and we're very proud to
to bring this to the community. I know
Dries spoke earlier about Drupal Gardens
and one of the things that Drupal Gardens
does is move something from platform as
a service, where you have to go these
extra steps, into software as a service
where you now have an easy way you can
go sign up and build things without
having to install PHP and configure my
sequel and do any of that. So, that's it
Thank you very much
No per user pricing. Unlimited admins.
