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.
