Basel, Switzerland and Newport Beach, CA - May 21, 2008

Day Software (SWX:DAYN, OTCQX:DYIHY) is accepting entries for the
first annual Global JCR Cup. Designed to encourage the development of
content-centric applications based on the Java Content Repository
(JCR) application programming interface (API) for content access, JSR
170, the contest runs through 12:00am PT, July 31, 2008 and is judged
by a panel of well-known developers and technologists.

Leveraging Day's CRX, a fully JCR-compliant content repository based
on Apache Jackrabbit, and the bundled easy-to-use, rapid Web
development framework, contest participants are challenged to create
blogs, wikis, business process management, multi-channel content
delivery and enterprise content management applications. Entries must
demonstrate originality, high-quality design and code, and
appropriate use of the JCR application programming interface (API).

Judges include David Nuescheler, Day's chief technology officer and
the spec lead for JSR 170 and JSR 283; Joseph B. Ottinger, editor of
TheServerSide; and Michael Marth, an industry expert on Java and open
source technologies. The winner will receive a fully loaded MacBook
Pro with a 17-inch widescreen.

Older content-centric applications were typically built using legacy
repositories, databases and file-systems that lacked standardized
infrastructural facilities. The JCR standard, in conjunction with
JCR-compliant repositories, represents an innovative foundation for
new content-centric applications that can be built quickly and
elegantly, with a focus on users and their content.

Day's technologies allow companies to access their most valuable
assets - information about their specific businesses, processes,
products, customers and documents, which were previously 'locked' in
proprietary repositories. Working with industry leaders such as EMC,
IBM, SUN and Oracle, Day initiated and drove industry adoption of JSR
170. Under the leadership of Nuescheler, JSR 283 (version 2.0 of the
Content Repository for Java Technology API), has successfully cleared
Public Review. The next version of the standard will help to further
improve the interoperability of content applications and content
repositories.
