Hi Arash,

I’ll give a look to the project you’ve discovered later this afternoon. 

 

In the meantime I have good news for you, or I hope so ;-) 

 

Since your last mail I spoke with some guys here in La Spezia who belong to
the Local Linux User Group. I’ve explained the idea of extending the
capabilities of OpenCMS to the Social Network functions and they are
enthusiastic. I hope to be able to involved in the next days some of them
and, if you agree, start to work at the project in a medium or short-term. 

 

Please let me know if you think this way of planning could be helpful for
you


 

Best,

Rita

Hi Rita,
I'm discovering the Glassfish Project SocialSite and Apache Shinding (still
in incubator), which can turn OpenCms into an OpenSocial Container:

Related links:

and see the nice presentation which was held on JavaOne by Dave Johnson and
Jamey Wood:

Turn your Web Application into an OpenSocial container: Introducing Project
SocialSite:

https://socialsite.dev.java.net/socialsite-j1-2008.pdf

And I would like to know if you or others on this list could imagine to get
OpenCms integrated with SocialSite support from the architectural point of
view?

Best,
Arash

Hi Arash, 
I really think that your project should be supported by the OCMS World 
community because the OpenCMS project must not miss the chance to extend its

capability to the Social Computing and web 2.0 services as (and even better 
than) Plone and other CMS already do. 
We have to work all together to reach this goal. 

Best 
Rita

Hi Rita, 

its so kind from you, thanks Rita, I'm more encouraged than before now 
to proceed with the OpenCms (sh)Air idea and bring it to the reality 
with your help and OCMS Worlds community power, Alkacon's support would 
be more than welcome too ;-) 

I'm working for more than 6 years now as an independent consultant with 
OpenCms and helped to integrate it with Portal platforms (WebSphere, 
Liferay, JBoss and uPortal), mainly to use OpenCms as content delivery 
service to these portals and handle near 72.000 html files with it for 
more than 100 sites / microsites for near to 80.000 users. 
I'm investigating and discovering Alfresco Share, Jive Software's 
Clearspace, Novell's Kablink (formerly ICE- Core), IBM Lotus Connections 
and MS SharePoint and also hosted solutions like Ning, KickApps, 
Facebook and others to learn from them how to offer better collaboration 
services for todays Web 2.0 society needs (see: 
http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/07/24/9-ways-to-build-your-own-social-network

/). 
And I think OpenCms shall jump on social computing train or at least 
could be used as content delivery service to some of theses platforms to 
fulfill specific, e.g. eGov services in public sectors and also for 
internal communication in middle to large enterprise environments, which 
requires at least a better web services and workflow support (RESTful 
OpenCmsRestlet jBPM support), business intelligence, rule engine and 
CMIS (Content Management Interoperability Services) support would be 
nice to have too, long live unlimited visions ;-) 

I read your interesting post some weeks ago about "OpenCMS accessible 
Web Site: SpeziaNET experience 
" 
and highly appreciate your great work and your shared open source 
mentality and would be more than happy to share my experience with you 
and our great community to help offering a sound architecture, design 
and implementation of OpenCms social computing solutions for public, 
business and non- profit sectors, as I think that OpenCms has a great 
potential for that, far more better than Plone, Drupal & Co. And I know 
that we could compete with Alfresco Share, Clearspace and others and 
offer a better integration with 3rd party platforms and API's , e.g. 
Portal Platforms and OpenSocial API! 

Thanks again for your encouragement, your kind words and offering your 
support, I'll be more than happy to come back to you soon! 

Have a nice weekend! 

Best regards from Cologne, 
Arash
