Dave Greenberg — Tue, 13 Feb 2007 17:33:26 -0800

CiviCRM is open source Constituent Relationship Management software designed specifically to meet the needs of advocacy, non-profit and non-governmental groups. CiviCRM provides basic integration with both Drupal and Joomla content management systems out-of-the-box. It also provides APIs and a "hook" system which allow developers to integrate with other modules, AND it can be used as a CRM "platform" for building complex vertical-market applications.

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.

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.
