Activities

There are lots of activities going on at our place. We invite you to share whatever you find interesting and to give feedback or join us whenever you like.

Cooperations ... Support, Consulting and Training

Currently our consulting business centers around Mac OS X, Cocoa and WebObjects technology. This includes planning of web sites and e-commerce solutions, developer training and system administration. A list of partners, customers and solutions, where some of our "farmers" helped out, is available for you. This list also includes all of our major "partnerships" with the non-profit world.

In some other areas (like biology, energy production, chemistry, design, etc.) we do have experts on the team which are at least able to guide you to a known service provider in that field. Maybe we will officially cover some of these areas on our own in the future.

Publications

There is more to the ObjectFarm then just making money. We feel that information and knowledge is very important and that some topics should receive more attention then they are getting out there. Usually they are more complex or require regular updates and therefore deserve to be a full online publication instead of a one-time feature article:

  • Solare Weltwirtschaft (Deutsch)
    Nach der Informationsgesellschaft sollte uns der nächste Schritt zu einer solaren Gesellschaft führen. Warum wir dies zwingend notwendig halten und wie eine daraus entstehende solare Weltwirtschaft aussehen könnte, ist Thema dieser Veröffentlichung.

  • TheMerger (English)
    Read about the history and evolution of Mac OS X and where the cool ideas came from.

Features

Every now and then our members are publishing some reports or short feature stories. As usual there is no guarantee that the material is error free, but we try to maintain a high standard of content quality. Those who only "read" it for the pictures might find some nice impressions as well.

We have included a note about the place where the article did appear initially and in which language.
