Tour de DART July 2009: Volunteer ExpectationsUM_DART
Volunteers for the community resource group can expect to review design documents and provide feedback to design teams. Design team volunteers will work in cycles to prioritize needs, create user scenarios, test developed solutions, and help prioritize requirements due to the challenge of not being able to address every gap before the first release. The overall project involves volunteers providing input to guide software development with the goal of meeting most needs in the first targeted spring 2011 release.
The document discusses recent accomplishments and upcoming milestones for the DART project. The project recently completed the Fit Gap analysis in fall 2008, submitted the business case in December 2008, received funding approval in February 2009, and completed an interim statement of work in April 2009. Upcoming milestones include contract signing in July 2009 and design team kickoff meetings in July and August 2009.
The document provides an overview of the DART project timeline and organization and identifies areas where community involvement is needed. Phase I will convert the current system and implement base modules from 2009-2011. Phase II will implement additional modules from 2011 onwards. The project organization diagram shows groups needing immediate community involvement, including design teams, a development/financial community resource group, and subject matter expert roles. Upcoming milestones include volunteer orientations and design workshops. Volunteers are welcome to get involved.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON. Timmerer also presents provocative contributions of his own that have significantly influenced the industry.

Editor's Notes
As-Is: During this period and before, high-level As-Is workflows will be reviewed and developed by the Design Team (documented by BSAs). The fit-gap priorities for that functional area will also be reviewed and re-ordered, as needed. Likely to require 10-15 hours of meetings per week. May be completed in 1 week or 2, depending on the number of workflows and priorities for that functional area.To-Be: During this period, the Design Team will work in meetings with Blackbaud design staff to review the As-Is workflows, discuss desired workflow changes, compare with product functionality and BB-considered "best practices" and determine where processes can/should be altered. Team will also meet with and gather feedback as available from members of the CRG. Likely to require 12-20 hours of meetings per week, depending on the number of requirements and workflows.

During the multi-week sprint cycles, Design Team members will be needed to approve the timeline for the design sprints, confirm the items to be completed, and be available for periodic reviews of new functionality to ensure Blackbaud designers are on track. The Design Team Lead must be available (usually by phone or email) to provide quick decisions to simple questions throughout this proces (or appoint one or more designees if unavailable). Team will also gather feedback as available from members of the CRG, some of whom may be invited to the sprint demos.Likely to require 4-6 hours per week to review demos and work with BSAs to aggregate feedback. There should be little to no time needed during the 2nd week of each sprint. Additional team work during this period may include more work on data output and reporting needs as well as drafting of user tests to implement at the end of the design cycle.
