Welcome to the new USER POWERED UHPLC site. This site is maintained to allow you, the user, to upload, manage and edit anything related to advancing education about, and the state of the art of UHPLC, Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography.
This is a different website. It's a bit 'Wiki', in that users can gain advanced administrative priviledges. Just register and request your authorizations.
The initial content is weighted heavily in terms of the Mambo content management system so you, the user, can become comfortable with managing content as would the editor of a journal.
Included in the initial content you will find:
An overview of UHPLC powered by Mambo (this content item)
An introduction to Components & Modules
A summary of the templates that are included in this release, and
Information about Mambo’s Licensing Terms (GPL)
It is our hope, as professionals supporting the ongoing evolution of HPLC, to provide a knowledge center for students and professionals to move ahead in their careers.
-Enjoy, and please register to participate! Thank You.
It is quite literally true to say that Mambo is an Open Source
success story. The original program was developed by the Australian
software company Miro,
who released the code to the Open Source community under the terms of
the GNU GPL in March of 2001. Until August of 2005, the development of
Mambo was controlled by a loosely organized community of volunteers.
During the course of development, Mambo grew in complexity and ability
and won a number of awards together with a wide following of loyal
users. Version 4.5.2 of Mambo was downloaded 1.8 million times!
In August 2005, the Mambo Foundation was formed, signaling a new era for the system. The Foundation is a
non-profit corporation whose sole purpose is the growth and development
of Mambo. The Foundation is run by the members of the community.
Membership in the Foundation is open to all and entitles members to
elect their representatives on the Board of Directors and to
participate more fully in matters affecting the development of the
project.
Non-profit structures like the Mambo Foundation have been used successfully by GNOME, Eclipse, Mozilla and many other Open Source projects. The non-profit corporate structure
is popular, at least part, because it adds a level of stability and
accountability absent in ad hoc community driven projects. The
existence of the Mambo Foundation means that users of Mambo can be
assured that the code will remain Open Source, will remain backed by a
transparent and accountable organization, and will have the ongoing
support and promotion that gives developers and business users the
confidence to choose Mambo over other systems.
If you would like to become involved in the development of Mambo and
be a part of the dynamic Mambo community, please contact us at
