Re: Change to /www/commercial-support.html

Hi Guys,

I work for Clearvision and am one of the team dedicated to Subversion so can answer some of these questions….

Clearvision have been operating for over 10 years and although they started as an IBM partner they have since become fully independent. They still offer services around IBM Rational but have partnered with other companies such as IVIS and CollabNet (working in partnership for more than a year) and also focus significantly on Subversion.

Clearvision are releasing an update to their website on 2nd February which expands the current Subversion page and clarifies their offering for Subversion support, Web based training, recruitment and tools/utilities etc.. They are particularly proud of the Subversion Web Based Training courses which are cutting edge and include animations, demonstrations, lab exercises and live playground environments. You can see a demo at:

http://212.241.176.203/Clearvision/Demo/Demo.html
 
While Clearvision started in the UK, they also have an office in the US. Clients span the globe and include CitiGroup, Shell, Ericsson and many others.

If anyone is interested in finding out more about Clearvision or the Web Based Training modules feel free to drop me an email and I will get one of the Directors to contact you.

James

Okay. Yeah, I totally don't remember that outcome from the discussion,
but it makes perfect sense to me. +1 on the policy.

So, besides fixing the spelling error "Commericial Support" on that
page, I strongly suggest that we note -- on the page itself -- the
policy applied to adding and maintaining links there. This would
encourage future would-be listers to court the development community in
order to earn that personal vouched-for-edness.
