Jibe Project

SPEAKER BIO

Denis Halupa and Daniel Gradecak are founders of Icodix, company based in Croatia specialized in providing complex enterprise solutions based on Alfresco. Driven by customer demands for more responsive UI and better agility during development process we started development of an application framework recently known as Jibe framework. As strong supporters of open source business model all our development efforts were publicly available under a GPL license from the very beginning.

PRESENTATION

During presentation, firstly we will describe the architecture behind the framework; than we will present Content manager which is a reference application built on top of framework. At the end we will shortly describe development model using few simple examples like

- customizing the form or the grid
- wiring additional actions
- exposing a server side java method for invocation from the client

iPhone native App, CMIS and the Cloud

Mike Mahon, President and Mike Muller, Director, Software Consulting at Zia Consulting talk about a native iPhone application Zia has developed that allows mobile access to an Alfresco document repository. This application runs against the most recent Alfresco releases; no additional software needs to be installed on the servers and no configuration of Alfresco is required.
It is configured by default to run against an Alfresco instance running in the Cloud. All of the calls to Alfresco to authenticate and pull content are utilizing Alfresco’s CMIS API.

We are currently beta-testing the application, called Fresh Docs, for submission to Apple’s app store. To be notified when it’s available in the app store, or to participate in the beta test, contact iphone@ziaconsulting.com. You can find more information about the app and our plans to Open Source the code behind it at www.ziaconsulting.com/iphone.

We will have our bi-weekly Alfresco Tech Talk Live @ 12pm EST, Friday August 21th, 2009.

Our guest speaker will be Rich McKnight, Alfresco Senior Consultant. Rich is a Senior Technologist with over 25 years of technology experience in a number of different disciplines including enterprise content management, web site development, telecommunications, equity trading systems and computer aided engineering.

His demo will show how it is possible to take content managed in Alfresco as web forms and deploy it to a web site running as a Drupal instance. In this demo all web form content being deployed to the Drupal web site will be stored in Drupal as native Drupal nodes.

This combination of managing content in Alfresco and deploying them to Drupal as Nodes, allows us to leverage the strengths of both systems. By managing the content in Alfresco, we leverage the power of Alfresco as a “Content Production System”. By storing the content as Drupal nodes, we are able to leverage Drupal’s “Presentation Management” strengths.

The proof of concept achieves these results by using a callback in Alfresco’s deployment system to post the content to Drupal using XMLRPC. The Drupal module that receives this content, strips out the content and metadata from the xml and creates or updates nodes. By associating the unique identifiers on the Drupal and Alfresco systems, Drupal is able to keep track of the version history when content is updated.

All of the content in the Drupal target does not need to be managed in Alfresco. This would allow organizations with large constituencies (e.g. Universities and Professional Associations) to have “Institutional” content (e.g. press releases and organizational news and announcements) managed from within Alfresco while allowing “User Generated” content (e.g. user blogs and forum discussions) to be managed in Drupal.

As part of this tech talk, he will compare and contrast the functionality of Drupal and Alfresco to help the members of both communities gain some insights into the system (Drupal or Alfresco) which is new to them.
