With so many opportunities, how do we take advantage of all CQ has to offer when limited to very few resources? Similar to many companies and institutions here, The University of Oklahoma doesn't currently have very deep pockets; meeting the dreams our office, authors and end-users have for the OU web requires a little innovative thinking and strategic planning. In this session, we will show how we've positioned CQ at the University as a powerful system and content repository that connects with so many other systems, plugins, and solutions. How do we give our authors and end users a competitive experience without breaking our backs or the bank?

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

Three of us from OU are here at Ignite and just to challenge you all, here are some facts about us – see if you can figure out whoʼs who:
One of us loves espresso and is always first to call shotgun
One of us is a proud BSG fan
And one of us loves mac and cheese pizza
-- We also have 3 developers, a designer and a migrations manager on the CMS team

Before we get too far into what weʼre doing now, though, letʼs go back a bit just to give you some history about our projects.
- Web Communications was born in ʼ07
- One of the first things this office did was to search for a CMS
- Weʼve been using CQ since June ʻ07 and...
- Migrated to CQ5 fall ʼ09
- I think you could classify our office as the unruly teenager now…
- There are now about 150 authors in CQ
- We have about 60 sites live in CQ
- And weʼre finishing up our beta releases for Map and Calendar

When we started using CQ in 2007, our only goal was to migrate sites into the CMS and use CQ as a resource and site management tool.
While thatʼs still one of our largest goals and uses for the system, we also use CQ in almost every other project we touch:
- We use it as a content repository for things like Luminis portal content
- We also aggregate content through CQ from some best-in-class or open-source resources

We have the same problem I bet everyone here has as well – we get projects pushed on to us from on high, plus we get too excited about new projects and technologies NOT to take them
on. So we end up with too many projects, a lot of excitement and not enough people to make those dreams a reality.
We have official goals, but our actual goals are to work on cool projects + get the required projects finished + leave enough time in the day for a YouTube video or two. And the only way to
do all of this is to complete projects with a little creative thinking.
Necessity breeds innovation

Innovation comes in many forms, but the themes we want to showcase are:

The first topic we have is about doing something innovative. These are projects that we've spent a good deal of time on by using CQ as the repository for content...

If anyone heard us speak last year, you heard that we were working on a calendar in CQ5 as a Day beta customer. That calendar is in production and weʼve learned a great deal about not
only calendars, but also how we can utilize CQ for what itʼs good at, plus build on top of the existing functionality to easily meet our needs.

This is how we set up a CQ5 calendar:
- First we create a view page, which weʼll talk more about in a minute.
- Next we create a calendar edit page. This uses the OOTB calendar template with just a couple customizations.
- One of these customization is that weʼve enabled a field for us as administrators to set an “owner” for the calendar which comes in to play when people are trying to push events through
workflow to this calendar. This field tells the workflow step who to send the request for approval to.
- Then users can start creating events using a customization of the OOTB event form. One of the fields in this form is the “Push to other calendar” field which allows users to send this event
to workflow to other calendar owners in CQ5.
10. doing something innovative: calendar

Here is the customized event form that authors use to create events. One of the fields weʼre really excited about is this field at the bottom where you can choose to push your event to
another calendar for approval. You select the calendar you want to submit to. This kicks off a workflow using a Dynamic Participant step which sends the event to the “recruitment” calendar
owner, for example. The owners of these calendars are set when we create the calendar and is a field that is only editable by our group.

One of the needs we had going in to the calendar project was that we already had design and UI functionality in mind for the published calendar. So, instead of reworking the lenses and other
calendar options Day has built into a calendar system that works quite well, just to meet the needs of our design, the solution was to take the existing calendar content and build a “feed” page
that queries that content and displays into whatever format weʼd like.
Weʼre using the CQ calendar as the content repository and built a new “calendar view” template to accommodate custom site designs and pull in inherited content such as headers, footers,
and more.

The next project that weʼve worked some innovative solutions in to is the campus map.
This year we finished OUʼs 3rd version of an online map. And, while this latest version is still in beta and functionality is still in development, weʼve reconfigured the entire map project to allow
for quicker future development and dispersed content ownership.

The backend content is completely authored through CQ so that the Visitor center can update building information while the Disability Resources Department can update building accessibility
information. All of this content is pulled into a map using Googleʼs API3 and the app builds pages based on CQ content.
One item weʼre currently building out is a location edit page in CQ which will allow us to place pins or draw polygons in the correct places for each building instead of having to insert lat/long
data. This will eliminate any work our dev team has to complete when we have a new building or a building is demolished. All content for each building at that point will be manageable by
anyone with permission.
14. doing something innovative: Luminis portal
ozone.ou.edu

Here you can see our student portal which is a place where students can get information pertinent to them, pay their school bills and get access to all of those online tools where they have to
log in. We have a difficult enough time getting authors on campus to update content on their site - let alone in the student portal as well. The portal is really difficult to author content through,
so weʼre working with content contributors to update portal content through CQ.
That way they only have to learn one authoring system and can send content through workflow to our portal manager. Weʼre pulling in pretty basic content right now, but the possibilities are
wide open.

The next set of work we have to show is all about letting someone else be innovative. We donʼt necessarily have the time to build everything exactly the way we want or as a long-term
solution. So, to meet our current needs and allow us to get a lot of tasks done, we try to employ a lot of open-source or best-in-class products that have already accomplished a large chunk
of what weʼre looking for.
16. let someone else be innovative: photo gallery
16
One of the standard requests we get is for a photo gallery, but it hasnʼt exactly been a high enough priority for us to insert ahead of projects like calendar or map. Finally, after the entire team
just getting annoyed that it kept showing up on the project list, a few of us just put our heads together one afternoon to figure out the most basic solution we could and at least implement a
first version of a photo gallery.
The solution we came up with will work nicely with a long-term solution and promotes OU social media through the use of Flickr.
Weʼre using an adaptation of “gallerific” – an open source javascript photo gallery. We took this tool to pull flickr feeds and display within a standard style in the CMS. There are a lot of
parameters available in gallerific, but the options weʼve opened up to CQ authors are: which feed to display and the number of thumbnails to display in each set.
17. let someone else be innovative: get satisfaction
17
With a few beta releases this year, we need options for getting feedback and communicating publicly with site visitors. Weʼve employed a tool companies here probably use - called “Get
Satisfaction” which adds this feedback tab to the page. Then we can communicate about that feedback through this tool as well.
18. let someone else be innovative: wufoo
18
Another tool our users needed, but wasnʼt something we had time to put on our projects list was a form builder. We wanted something simple, free for authors, several options for content
delivery and most importantly – something I could figure out without taking any time from our developers or sys admin.
We decided that, at least for the short term, Wufoo.com was our best option for this since itʼs something I could set up and didnʼt require help from anyone.
We may decide that this isnʼt our long-term solution, but it does have an api that we might be able to utilize for future connection with CQ.
19. let someone else be innovative: so so social
19
Many of our authors need some sort of news feed on their site, and we need them to be able to create this fairly easily - and without our help. There are lots of feed tools out there, but we
particularly liked the jquery So So Social plugin due to all of the different feeds it pulls in out of the box. This is a project that we just put in to development - weʼll implement this similar to how
we implemented photo gallery – pretty basic styling and functionality, but the dialog in CQ will allow you to insert the parameters for pulling these different feeds.

We have a lot of projects weʼd like to get to because there are always new things to get excited about.
21. dreaming: map & calendar
Upcoming Events:
Oct. 5 - Climate and Energy
Week: Film Screening
21
Some of our future projects with the calendar dig deeper into CQ as a repository and aggregator of content. Weʼd like to connect the map content and the calendar content. Since this is all
stored in CQ, we could tag the event location with an actual building node in our map structure in order to link directly to the building location from the calendar. Also, we could display
upcoming events associated with a particular location in the map view.
There are plenty of additional things weʼd like to connect the map and calendar to – perhaps promoting via facebook, incorporating flickr event photos, the OU2GO iPhone app and more.
We have developed a REST-based API that allows for content to be consumed by applications on various platforms. Our map interface and calendar view page are only the first applications
to consume the content.

With so many projects and systems available to us, we always have a laundry list of projects weʼd love to get to. Here are just a few of the projects on our list. This is also why we appreciate
getting to meet so many other CQ customers in order to see what you all are doing to meet these goals or even realize new dreams after seeing what can be done with CQ.
