RESTON, Va. and LONDON, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Rivet Logic Corporation, a
leading provider of consulting and system integration services focused on open
source content management solutions, has been selected by New Gravity Ventures
to develop ConnectedWeddings.com, a large-scale application targeting domestic
and international consumer markets using the Alfresco content management
system and the Facebook Platform.
For the project, New Gravity Ventures announced the Connected Weddings
application built on the Facebook Platform has been awarded a grant through
Facebook's fbFund. The announcement was made today at f8, Facebook's annual
developers' conference.
ConnectedWeddings.com offers a new and easier way to plan weddings,

planning tasks and create a customized, professional looking wedding webpage -
all for free.
According to Mike Vertal, CEO of Rivet Logic: "We are thrilled to be
selected for such an exciting project. We are leveraging our award-winning
expertise in building scalable and reliable enterprise solutions using
Alfresco and other open source software, and enabling the next generation of
social networking applications that will drive business."
New Gravity Ventures develops consumer applications for the US and Indian
markets. Dan Kerzner, CEO of New Gravity Ventures said "We are building a
unique, socially-aware application so we needed a trusted development partner
who had a proven track record of building rock-solid solutions. And because
of our emphasis on building content-rich applications, we chose Alfresco as
our content management platform."
Alfresco Software was named as one of Linux Magazine's Top 20 Companies to
Watch in 2008 earlier this year, being recognized for its enterprise social
computing platform, which includes integration with Facebook.
John Newton, Chairman and CTO of Alfresco Software commented: "We are very
excited about the use of Alfresco in the ConnectedWeddings.com project. It
demonstrates the increasing significance of content services in the Web 2.0
environment and how content is connected to people in the context of social
networking."
A pre-release version of the application is being demonstrated today at
Facebook's annual developers' conference, and the beta version will be
available to users who join the Connected Weddings Facebook group through
ConnectedWeddings.com.
