Zope Corporation was formed in 1995 in Fredericksburg, VA, as a joint venture with InfiNet (a Gannett/ Knight Ridder/ Landmark Communications joint newspaper chain venture.) The Company developed a classified advertisement engine for the Internet, then in 1997 became an independently owned private company. At the behest of its largest investor, Opticality Ventures, Zope Corporation released its software as open source, concentrating on providing premier customization services. The company has a world-class team of software engineers led by CTO Jim Fulton, has evolved into a premier hosted media solutions company.
The Zope4Media platform has allowed GateHouse to focus on training journalists at weekly papers to publish daily content on the web,
while not distracting them with the technology. As we bring our daily papers online using Zope4Media, sites already on the platform
will benefit from the new features required by the larger sites. Our smallest newspaper will have the same tools to help grow their
online audience and revenue as our largest newspaper. This technology is powerful and very flexible and Zope is clearly a leader in
this field.
