Building Content-Rich Java Apps in the Cloud with the Alfresco APIJeff Potts
This presentation, originally delivered at JavaOne on October 2, 2012, talks about why you should use Alfresco instead of rolling your own content repository and discusses the new public Alfresco API for writing content apps that persist content to Alfresco in the Cloud.
The recent launch of Alfresco One 5.0 included many key enhancements to the software. Some are provided to increase ease-of-use to end users while others bring new and improved integrations and capabilities to administrators and developers. In addition to several bug fixes, SharePoint Protocol was replaced by Alfresco Office Services and now supports property mapping and better browser support. HTML5 preview includes full text search and the ability to download or permalink from the preview—all without Flash.
The latest improvements to solr 4 will bring a more responsive and faceted search to the software. This includes inline actions for search results as well as the search criteria defaulting to AND rather than OR. Support for clustering/sharding and term highlighting is expected soon as well.
In addition to these advancements, the following list touches on some enhancements. In depth information can be found at https://www.alfresco.com/5ready
CMIS 1.1 Item Type
Site Manager and Analytics
More Aikau components
Advanced inline HTML editor (TinyMCE4)

Alfresco: The Story of How Open Source Disrupted the ECM MarketJeff Potts
The early 90's saw the rise of powerful, inexpensive team collaboration software on one hand and huge document management systems on the other. Open source and cloud have brought us full circle. Today's businesses can implement extremely powerful productivity enhancing solutions quickly and easily. Alfresco capitalized on this trend. It used open source to get to the market quickly. It delivered functionality on par with legacy ECM as open source. Today, however, it is not just an open source alternative to things like Documentum and SharePoint, it is a visionary in the ECM market. This presentation tells that story, putting into context the things happening in ECM, collaboration, open source, and cloud from the 1990's to present day.
A brief introduction to the CMIS spec and some tips and tricks for developers new to CMIS. Demos showed how to install and use cmislib, the Python API for CMIS, and OpenCMIS, the Java API. Both projects are part of Apache Chemistry. Originally given as part of an Alfresco webinar. Recording: http://blogs.alfresco.com/wp/webcasts/2012/01/getting-started-with-cmis-2/
This presentation was shown at Spring Framework Meeting 2009 in Cagliari (Sardinia - Italy).

Abstract:
Alfresco is the leading open source enterprise content management system and two of the most appreciated aspects of Alfresco are: the wide customization model and the high quality of source code.
Alfresco is strongly based on Spring Framework and thanks to this adoption we can find many ways to extend and inject our components. In this presentation will be shown many ways to extend Alfresco features and interfaces using Spring application context configuration.

In the past, developers have chosen to develop their own content-centric apps from scratch or by leveraging low level libraries. A content repository like Alfresco can save time and cost. Even if you don't choose Alfresco, you should still consider leveraging a standard API like CMIS as much as possible.

No Docker? No Problem: Automating installation and config with AnsibleJeff Potts
In this talk I show how to bring stability and repeatability to your Alfresco installation by automating install and config management with Ansible.
This talk was originally given at Alfresco DevCon 2020 (virtual edition).
Moving From Actions & Behaviors to MicroservicesJeff Potts
My DevCon 2019 talk discusses how to make it easier to integrate Alfresco with other systems using an event-based approach. Two real world examples are discussed and demonstrated. The first is about reporting against Alfresco metadata. The second is about enriching metadata by running content through a Natural Language Processing (NLP) model. Both solutions work by listening to generic events generated by Alfresco and placed on an Apache Kafka queue. For the reporting example, the Spring Boot consumer subscribes to Kafka events, then fetches metadata via CMIS and indexes that into Elasticsearch. For the NLP example, a separate Spring Boot consumer subscribes to the same events, but in this case, fetches the content, extracts text using Apache Tika, runs the text through Apache OpenNLP, then writes back extracted entities to Alfresco via CMIS. These are relatively simple examples, but illustrate how a de-coupled, asynchronous, event-based approach can make integrating Alfresco with other systems easier.
Flexible Permissions Management with ACL TemplatesJeff Potts
This is was presented as an ignite-style lightning talk at DevCon 2018 in Lisbon. It discusses an open source add-on called ACL Templates which can be used to separate ACL settings from code.
Moving Gigantic Files Into and Out of the Alfresco RepositoryJeff Potts
This talk is a technical case study showing show Metaversant solved a problem for one of their clients, Noble Research Institute. Researchers at Noble deal with very large files which are often difficult to move into and out of the Alfresco repository.
I gave this talk in April 2016 at BeeCon, the Alfresco Community conference. It discusses what would happen if Alfresco Software, Inc., the commercial open source company behind Alfresco were to cease to exist. Would Alfresco as an open source project survive? The talk is light on bullet/text so you may prefer to find a recording to get the full context.
Connecting Content Management Apps with CMISJeff Potts
Discusses ECM interoperability achieved when content repositories like Nuxeo implement a specification called Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS).
Several years ago, James Dixon, CTO at Pentaho, published a paper called, “The Bees and the Trees: The Beekeeper Model of Commercial Open Source Software”. I have found that this metaphor is hugely helpful in explaining commercial open source to people. So in this talk I introduce James' model, then I use it as the context to discuss the state of the Alfresco community.
A recording of this session lives here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NSsz-sjbzg
Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) is the preferred API for writing code against Alfresco. This presentation explains how to get started using CMIS and covers some of the gotchas and limitations you should be aware of before you commit to CMIS for your project. This presentation was originally delivered at Alfresco Summit 2013 in Barcelona and Boston.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
