Brooklyn, NY, August 19, 2008 – Last year’s S.F.O.S. (Sewing Factory Open Studios) event featured 21 visual artists and 7 live music acts on the rooftop of an industrial loft building in Bed-Stuy. This September, the roof will again be turned into a sculpture garden augmented by paintings and featuring live music.  Although line-ups are still being finalized, Loop 2.4.3, who “reinvent percussion from the bones out” (NPR-Fresh Air), and have been described as “a really focused and thrilling percussive ride” (New-Noise.net), will headline the music stage and local artist Suzanne Boatenreiter will be curating the visual art.  Other musical acts confirmed are CT songwriter Jonny Rodgers, NYC wordsmith Tom Burnett, and Hungarian pianist/keyboardist Istvan B’Racz, performing Phillip Glass along with original works.  In addition to the curated art show, many artists who have studio space in the building will be offering open studios.

The Art Show begins at 4 p.m. and goes into the evening with live music starting at 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 20, at Spencer Sewing Factory Rooftop, 144 Spencer St. (click for map), Brooklyn (Bedford-Stuyvesant), NY 11205

    I thought it might be worth mentioning that Sitecore recommends that all non-technical users start in the simple Page Editor inline editing interface rather than in the more capable Content Editor or Desktop user interfaces, which are intended for advanced content managers, developers, and administrators. Also, you can use Sitecore Client Security Roles to limit the features available in all Sitecore user interfaces, which seriously reduces perceived complexity, but also controls which users can perform specific functions. You can expose more features as users become more familiar with the system and find needs for those features.

    Sitecore has put a great deal of effort into maximizing client performance without sacrificing features or usability. The less data you send over the network, and the closer you are to the server, the better a Web application performs, which is another reason to use the Page Editor and limit features available in all of the user interfaces. Developers tend to turn on all sorts of the features that they only need occasionally, and forget to turn them off, but they can hide tabs, disable prefetching of collapsed sections (and collapse sections they use rarely), hide the standard fields, and take other steps to improve client performance.

    Personally, I would always vote for features and usability over performance, but then again, I have never used Umbraco.
