CMS: Alfresco, Liferay

not scheduled

Description:

In this session we explore the process by which Alfresco and Liferay collaborated to integrate Content Management and Portals. The session will begin with an exploration of the technical details and design-patterns for integration, followed by a demonstration.

The second half will be an interactive discussion on best practices for collaboration among multiple open source projects using the Alfresco/Liferay partnership as a case-study followed by a brainstorming session by which we work on identifying other ways of bridging the gap among the different systems through portal technology.

Note to OSCMS-Summit Organizers: This session may be split up into two 1-hour sessions covering technical integration details and inter-project collaboration respectively. Alternately we can ditch one of the halves depending on interest. A more detailed outline will follow.

Friday - 3:00pm - Friday - 4:00pm

Description:

Elastic CMS deployment is a model that allows for a operating system to be packaged as a virtual appliance in conjunction to the core content management system components. As system requirements change the CMS can intelligently adapt itself with little or no human involvement.

Applying the designs of Virtualization, Business Process Execution Language, SOA, Amazon Web services (EC2 & S3) with content management presents an opportunity for a virtual content layer, whereby enterprise content management is defined not as a monolithic repository but rather as a logical library of interchangeable self-describing & self replicating components based on established performance policies.

This approach allows for content management systems that can be configured to scale across single servers, multiple physical servers, multiple virtualized servers, grids or a combination of all of the above, natively, without modification. The approach allows for even the simplest applications (CMS,CRM,Blog,Forum,etc) to be scaled to millions of users with little or no additional development work. As system requirements grow, so does your content management system, on the fly.
---------------------------------
This presentation will demonstration the elastic capabilities of the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon S3, Xen virtualization with open source CMS systems TYPO3, Alfresco and Drupal. Elastic server management will be provided by the Enomalism (LGPL) open source virtual server dashboard.

Thursday - 4:15pm - Thursday - 5:15pm

Description:

We will talk implementation details and demonstrate the desktop integration possibilities with Alfresco's abstract file systems. Others can do FTP and WebDAV, we can also look just like a Windows or NFS share - and that gives a whole new range of options for user interaction.

Scriptable "virtual" Windows executables can do server-side CMS functions, providing a zero-install solution without relying on the web browser.

We'll show how the CIFS emulation coupled with Alfresco's web virtualization can make working with standard web design applications on a web site an absolute breeze: edit directly and preview instantly.

We'll also open up the details of our Microsoft Office add-in: use CMS features to do all the hardwork and only do minimal Microsoft-specific coding.
