We are organizing a seminar about Liferay, the open source Enterprise portal software described as visionary by Gartner. Liferay Portal powers large companies' public-facing websites with advanced content management features. Behind the scene, Liferay offers companies a "social office" where employees can collaborate efficiently.
Liferay's CEO Bryan Cheung will introduce Liferay, present the roadmap, in particular for the Japanese market.
Aegif recently became the first Liferay Service Partner in Japan.
The seminar will take place at Roppongi Hills, 49th floor, on July 15th 2pm. Free entrance. More info here.

CMIS has been approved
CMIS has recently been accepted as a standard, so it is time to get some experience with it! Actually my company just delivered its first CMIS-based solution yesterday.
CMIS means "Content Management Interoperability Services". It is a protocol to access ECM (Enterprise Content Management) repositories. Why did I choose to use CMIS instead of JCR or WebDAV? Because CMIS better targets the needs of ECM projects, it is actually the first protocol designed for Document Management, with interoperability being one of the main goals. CMIS is a joint effort between IBM, Microsoft, Alfresco, EMC, Open Text, SAP, Oracle, Adobe, Nuxeo and others.
Some client implementations already exist in beta versions, but their documentation is still very scarce. I chose OpenCMIS as a client library. Other solutions could have been chemistry-abdera, which is not as active, or using CMIS as Web Service or REST directly, which would have taken a lot of time.
Like for other CMIS implementations, OpenCMIS documentation is still scarce (I actually contributed a good portion of it). So I will explain how to get started with CMIS in the small OpenCMIS tutorial below, hope this helps someone. For the example, I will explain how to access Alfresco from an OpenCMIS client.
Using OpenCMIS to access an Alfresco repository
OpenCMIS has not been released yet, so you will have to compile it from source. Install subversion and maven if you don't already have them. Then get the source:
svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/chemistry/opencmis/trunk
... and compile it (in the root directory):
mvn clean install
This will create a bunch of JAR libraries, in particular those we need:
Download my small Java demo file and edit the URL, user, password to match your environment.
Then compile with the libraries, run, and the content of your repository should appear :-)
That's it! To start doing actually useful things, check the OpenCMIS cookbook.

Got hired to work on Alfresco
I got hired by Aegif (イージフ) to work on the open source ECM Alfresco! I would like to thank my former Japanese employers W3C Tokyo and Expresso for the great projects and wonderful time I had with them!
For my first week, my company sends me to Milan, Italy for an Alfresco "Train the Trainer" training.

Alfresco's CEO in Tokyo
Today I attended the Alfresco seminar organized by aegif, at the 49th floor of the Mori Tower. Alfresco's CEO John Powell exposed the strength of the open source Enterprise Content Management system, and several Japanese integration companies demonstrated their Alfresco-based offerings.
