 * On Tuesday July 7, 2010, StatusNet released a Motorola case study. The case study discusses Motorola's successful incorporation of StatusNet into their business by creating a StatusNet-based Enterprise Network, MotMot, across its entire organization. Evan Prodromou (CEO and founder of StatusNet) is quoted for having said that "Motorola's launch of MotMot has shown the great power of using StatusNet inside of a corporation at enterprise-scale." Jon Phillips elaborates more on the case study in a blog post entitled StatusNet Revolutionizes Motorola's Internal Communications!


 * StatusNet is pleased to announce that there will be OStatus discussions held at the Federated Social Web Summit 2010! OStatus is an important standard, and here at StatusNet, we hope that more people will choose to incorporate OStatus into their network. The goal here is for us all to move towards a truly distributed social Web!
