The folks over at MovableType recently announced a new open-source version of their blogging platform, named Melody. Viewable over at openmelody.org, you can tell that this is a direct push to compete with wordpress.org‘s offerings and community base.
Asking current developers and coders to design and improve upon the software will certainly be a win-win for Melody; after all, the same school of thought has brought WordPress to its current 2.8 version (soon to be 2.8.1), and has allowed it to grow into the premier blogging platform for most (it even powers smalltowngeeks.net!)
Melody is a new open-source Blog Platform
I’m going to be demoing Melody over the next few days, and hope to get a screencast up showing the benefits (or detriments) of the latest open-source blogging platform.

Greetings from Our Nation’s Capital!
My name is Ryan, and I’ll be your technology tour guide today; from Blackberry to managed Enterprise setups, I’m your man. Serving as an IT Drirector for a Consulting Group, I deal with the latest in both consumer and business technologies and love to share new tools!
So a little bit about me: I’m 17, and I own my own IT-based company, as well as serving as an IT director and SaaS specialist. While I do enjoy long walks on the beach, I have found that too much of my time is spent working, so my only true vacation comes from writing to all of you! My personal blog, ryanmminnick.com, is a repository of my tech-centric ramblings and life experiences. Here at smalltowngeeks.net, I hope to continue to help everyone by providing the answers that you need to the tech problems that you have.
Questions? Email me at ryanminnick@smalltowngeeks.net and I’ll post videos, audio feeds, or posts to answer all of your questions (as well as respond by email)
I look forward to posting for you!
Ryan
