OpenCms S5 Module

Aleph-Null has released a new OpenCms module providing S5 support.

Days before I was to leave for Germany, my Toshiba tablet croaked. So I went out and bought a MacBook Pro. But at the time I couldn't get OpenOffice presentations working... so I decided to use S5.

Well, one thing led to another, and I wrote a module to allow OpenCms users to create slide shows within OpenCms, and then display them over the web.

Now I just have to figure out how to export the results to a PDF so that Alkacon can publish them....

OpenCms Days 2008

I had a great time at OpenCms Days in Cologne, Germany. The conference was fantastic -- well organized and thought provoking.

I wrote up the conference at Aleph-Null's website. I also posted some reflections on my personal blog. Seth Gottlieb, one of the other invited speakers, posted a good blog on the conference, too:

Speaking at OpenCms Days 2008 Conference

I will be speaking at this year's OpenCms Days conference. Alexander Kandzior was kind enough to invite me to present a session in the developers track.

The conference is in Köln, Germany, May 5th and 6th. So if you need a reason to take a trip to Germany....

In case you are unfamiliar with OpenCms, it is a Java-based enterprise CMS system. While other Open Source CMS systems have targeted small organizations running on hosted ISPs, OpenCms is designed to meet the needs of the modern enterprise.
