CFP ApacheCon 2011 and Jackrabbit

Hi guys,

I would like to submit today a paper for the ApacheCon 2011 about our experience on integrating Jackrabbit as a central part of our product. The main idea to talk about the reasons of adopting Jackrabbit as an core part any web solution, the advantages/disadvantages, give some feedback about how things played out in our case from both from a technical and project management point of view, and of course talk a little about the future of Jackrabbit, also in regards to other technologies such as CMIS and the new WCM/WEM OASIS proposal. I would also take the opportunity to share our overall experience of working with Apache projects, as well as talking about how we see our continued involvement, the pitfalls we have experienced, and the lessons we learned.

The title of this presentation would be "Integrating Jackrabbit : why, how and what's next", and the abstract would be something like this : "Recently, a lot of controversy has arisen about the benefits of technologies such as the JCR. In this presentation we talk about why and how selecting Jackrabbit as a core technology makes sense, what other alternatives were tried before, how the experience has been, performance, what the future looks like and how it measures compared to alternatives".

It is my hope that this presentation will help people see all the value in Jackrabbit that it deserves, as I believe it is a project that has achieved a lot in a very short amount of time. 

I welcome any feedback, experience and suggestions you might have, even if negative :) I also would love any references you can give me about Jackrabbit 3, as I must say I am a bit behind on the discussions about the new architecture. 

Best regards,
 Serge Huber.

I guess you mean articles like

http://www.cmswire.com/cms/web-cms/is-jcr-dead-009676.php

?

Maybe the following blog post from PHP land

http://pooteeweet.org/blog/1898

can help you.

sure :-)

we are building a content management framework for symfony2, one of the
hot-shots in php application frameworks.

by content management framework, we mean something you can use to build
a cms with. a cms is more than just document management:
* mixed content
* navigation trees
* meta data
* versioning and access control

and jcr is an api that was easy to port to php, which exactly defines
what is going to happen. /how/ it has to be done is up to the
implementation. if we had implemented CMIS, which is a protocol, we
would have required a complicated frontend-backend communication,
whereas a simple phpcr implemenation can just be a wrapper around the
database driver.

Don't worry David, I'm not saying that, quite the opposite :) Actually I have even blogged about the controversy here : http://sergehuber.jahia.com/jcr-is-not-dead-and-neither-is-cmis

But thanks for the PHP info, that will be very useful when talking about the community around Jackrabbit and the JCR !

Best regards,
  Serge...
