Digg [dot] one - Digg Sigma

2025-12-15T12:37:04+00:00

I am an internet news kid from the 1980s. Self publishing is in my DNA and DNS ;)

I loved digg.com between it's premier to v3; but hated v4/sale of site. So I loved the publishing solution more; i loved the idea(s).

I am an engineer by trade so I reverse engineered the software ideas into a prototype called diggClone.

I got funding to implement diggClone into a new website for a friend.

During this time I released my own implementation of diggClone as digg.one aka Digg Sigma the first Exponential CMS based implementation of diggClone software.

Today digg.one is a free place for people to vote on stories about internet links free to everyone.

digg.one website software is software is open sourced to the world as diggClone! it's free software under the GNU GPLv2+ available via GitHub (zip or tar.gz) or SourceForge (zip) or indivdually as sevenx_diggclone and sevenx_digg which can be installed and customized within the Exponential CMS.

The EPN is a greater vision for the Exponential Ecosystem / Community / Users to become more involved, supported and grow to reach new levels of prosperity.

Exponential Ecosystem

2025-12-15T06:00:11+00:00

The Exponential Ecosystem is the greater world which surrounds our Exponential Community and is often more business focused and silent within the community.

The Exponential Ecosystem grows faster than the community as it is uniquely different in it's needs and often provides direction by example alone.

Exponential Community

2025-12-15T05:59:57+00:00

The Exponential Community exists world wide and today is a mix between new users just getting started using the software to power their own websites and advanced users who are using it as well to power their websites. Many of these users could easily be considered former members of the eZ Publish Community which didn't agree with the non-free nature of the Ibexa's forced upgrade and dropping of support for the community software solutions which powered our websites just fine.

Brookins Consulting

2025-12-15T05:27:03+00:00

Brookins Consulting was started by myself in 2000 after speaking about my ideas for a consultancy based solutions and support provider with Carol Ann Black a dear friend and avid reader.

In 2001 Brookins Consulting began providing web based website applications using the eZ Publish 2.x product line without paying for support instead relying on my own skills to master and grow this solution to do even more, even better with changes!

In 2018 Brookins Consulting renamed the company silently with no public notice to simply 7x (domain se7enx.com).

The domain had been purchased in 2014 as I researched potential names with which to take BC to the next level.

I had been silently preparing for years.

Today Brookins Consulting is a special division inside of 7x and our home page brookinsconsulting.com remains online.

What was eZ Publish and how it evolved into Exponential?

2025-08-26T03:42:31+00:00

eZ Publish was the successful open source enterprise community based software stack for the open source PHP + Web-server (LAMP, MAMP, WAMP, etc) + OS (all unix based + windows) that was highly designed object oriented class designed PHP Classes together into a general purpose web application + cms + e-commerce development framework of systems. The company who created eZ Publish was called interestingly enough eZ Systems (now Ibexa). They stood out as experts in design of software to make the most complicated workflow of tasks required simple and easy to end users through complex abstraction and extensively documented code.

How eZ Publish Open Source Version evolved into Exponential?

eZ Publish life came to a end at the deprecation of it's core software features provide the kernel then called legacy in early 2014. This software was designed for PHP5 to run without issues. This software was easily maintained and upgraded to PHP7 and then by Ibexa control the open source version maintinence efforts were halted around 2019 effectively ending hopes from the creator that this older version would be supported and updated to continue to function as designed originally for end users without technical skills. This was a trying time of local changes by 7x to continue to run without interruptions eZ Publish based solutions, applications and end user facing website portals and stores with minor patches (to be combined later into Exponential 6.0.0). World wide, eZ Publish usage quickly declined as users were left with little option but to upgrade or port away to alternatives.

Frustration and Freedom seeking for others without funding to do either lead many to 7x to alternatively continue to drive for a free open source product continuation that resulted in a free eZ Publish (minus the trademarked name) in the open source world separate from eZ Systems / Ibexa.

In 2023 7x released a new version of eZ Publish to be rebranded as Exponential 6.0.0 which was compatible with all of eZ Publish extensive API(s) and features to be a drop in upgrade that required no database changes only core kernel release files installation needed (and clearing caches lol) for PHP 7 - 8.4+ effectively ending the user concern that eZ Publish could and should be maintained even if it was under a different open source enterprise software product project name and branding.

On, 08/11/2025 At the specific request of Ibexa, 7x is changing the project name to "Exponential" or "Exponential (CMS)".

In 2025, 7x release a new updated version of eZ Publish now Exponential 6.0.10 which continued to drive new developments in the eZ now Exponential Community / Ecosystem. This release provided a debug toolbar, php bugfixes to the kernel, design template improvements and replaces almost all uses of the trademark protected text string, 'eZ Publish', 'ezpublish', 'eZPublish', etc from the software entirely. This affects front facing key information regarding product name and it's project name, copyright(s), design image logos, settings values, template code, php code, documentation to 'Exponential' instead of the previous trademark at Ibexa specific request of 7x / The Project for the Open Source Fork of eZ Publish.

Please Note: This project is not associated with the original eZ Publish software or its original developer, eZ Systems or Ibexa.

Digg.One

2024-11-18T22:31:00+00:00

I worked on a project to bring back the classic Digg.com UI voting features within a common everyday eZ Publish 6 CMS Website.

This quickly spawned another project DiggClone by 7x that offers these features as an installable download under the open source license GNU GPLv2 (or later version).

This allowed me to create Global Mandates a new project by one of my customers using eZ Publish which wanted voting on eZ content features. The first DiggClone implementation.

Enjoy Digg.One as we grow it to become the lively place to visit on the internet.

I started my work carrier as a carrs sacker, and dreamed of bigger things like radio and television producer. which i became in my teens at abc kimo channel 13, kwhl 106.5 fm and kfqd 750 am and several other broadcasting media stations in the anchorage, alaska area.

I quickly rose from intern to full fledged tv and radio producer. at kfqd i produced the afternoon report a daily news summary program on am radio. at kwhl i worked on the morning show and was a fill in board operator and became a solid for commercial encoding of real to real media into the computer network. at kimo 13i was a camera man, teleprompter operator, CGI Text Producer and Master Control Operator (Board Operator).

I have moved from local broadcasting to internet broadcasting with the addition of listen.kracker.org
