Happy Birthday Jumper 2.0

Today marks the one year anniversary of Jumper’s first production release. We are celebrating the open source release of Jumper 2.0 on Sourceforge (March 29th) and look forward to another exciting year.

We have achieved unexpected growth in this short span and the credit goes to all of our dedicated community members. Lots of smart people, from smart companies, are driving Jumper 2.0 forward. Since our initial launch one year ago we have over 5000 enterprise downloads. Our software is installed in some of the largest Life Sciences and Pharmaceutical organizations, Automobile and Construction equipment manufacturers, Food Product and Beverage companies, leading Universities around the globe, and several US Government agencies. Our open source software has been downloaded in over 76 countries with more downloads to China than any other country. We get more hits, downloads, and requests from China than any other country outside the US.

Jumper 2.0 is just beginning to gain recognition as a game changing software platform. Jumper has grown rapidly from department and project level deployments by rogue groups of employees frustrated with existing corporate IT solutions, to development level beta and sandbox platforms that opened peoples eyes to the power of social knowledge tagging, to full blown enterprise platforms that supplement existing Search and KM tools. Jumper wikis are popping up to provide users with support and advice and corporate IT, instead of trying to police or squash this self-help behavior, has begun to embrace it.

We look forward to becoming a significant driver of innovation in the enterprise, empowering users everywhere behind the firewall, and planning new developments to the Jumper platform in the coming year. Our community of users, supporters, and developers grows stronger every day and we anticipate the suggestions and contributions of each new member. It is your feedback that will result in new features and tools that benefit the broader community.

From all of us at Jumper thank you to the community of users who support us. Your comments, suggestions, complaints, bug fixes, and continued deployments help make for better software.
