EVOKE system launched
Monday 18th June 2007: The 4th generation of the deepSystem, now renamed "EVOKE", is now in use by the deepSystems partnership for development of custom websites and web applications. This system remains under development by deepSystems, but already extends the deepSystem as follows:
1) new"evo" templating system allows more rapid coding of web pages: this system is python-based and replaces the deepSystems XML templating system (which is still supported).
2) application 'farm' facility: allows multiple applications to be run from one instance of the application server (ie using one port).
3) content management core - allowing easy and generic maintenance and formatting of text and images throughout the system.
The EVOKE system will be developed further to provide discussion facilities (a la forum/blog), and website publication and content management.
http://cultexit.org/evoke/ shows EVOKE in action, providing forum and publishing facilities.

deep launch new services and website
Thursday 1st December 2005: The deepSystems partnership today launched their new website, and custom business system services. DeepSystems was formed by systems architect Ian Mackenzie and graphic designer Allister Noble, with the intention of combining top class graphic design and systems architecture skills, to provide affordable and efficient custom integrated systems, based on the latest open source and internet technologies.
In the words of Ian "after many years of experience in our fields, we both saw a need for a collective resource, pulling together various skill sets and providing a systematic framework for distributed development of IT projects. Although coming from different professional backgrounds, we found we have a common philosophy of focussing on design. We believe that extra time and effort spent on design, to make things simple and elegant, and exactly fit for the purpose, will pay handsome dividends down the line in the development, implementation, and support of a system. These days it is increasingly common for technology-based professionals to work from home individually, collaborating with each other as required via subcontracting or similar flexible arrangements. Our aim is to systemise this approach and provide an administrative and project management framework to support a loosely-knit team of professional collaborators. We are based in Aberdeenshire, and aim to serve the whole of Scotland, initially: geography is not really an issue, as we use the internet and our own web-based systems to communicate, collaborate, and administer our business and our client's projects."
The new deep website explains the deep philosophy of system design, and outlines the services offered, and the technologies used. The site is under continuing development and the aim is to make their project administration and tracking system, the "deepSystem", available, through this site, for the benefit of deep partners and clients alike.
