Your Bibliographic Data and the Mugo ONIX Bridge

Mugo Web — Fri, 24 May 2013 05:29:00 GMT

In the world of books, book publishing and bookselling, the metadata exchange format “ONIX” is the preeminent method of communicating information about a book. In spite of the fact that ONIX is a rather flawed standard and protocol for exchanging bibliographic information, it is the standard which everyone has settled on. Mugo has been working with ONIX since 2003, first building a freely available ONIX management system as a proof of concept for the Centre for Canadian Studies in Publishing at Simon Fraser University and most recently building an ONIX bridge for an open source content management system (CMS).

Presentation: Vagrant as part of a production workflow

Bruce Morrison — Tue, 21 May 2013 08:20:30 GMT

The following presentation was given on 24 July 2012 to the DevOps Brisbane group. Some of the technical detail about Vagrant is outdated but I think it provides a good overview of why moving to a "Infrastructure as code" setup makes a lot of sense.

Code review considerations - QA#5

Responsive Data Tables with ngResponsiveTables jQuery plugin

Netgen — Mon, 20 May 2013 09:59:28 GMT

Recently, I had a project which required implementation of responsive tables. CSS basic rules are enough, usually, but in this project we had too many table heads so we needed a completely new solution.

eZ Publish Community Gateway — Fri, 17 May 2013 14:53:05 GMT

eZ Publish Summer Camp 2013 will be again organised by Netgen beginning of September: 4th to 7th to be exact. The format will be the same as last year: 3 days of learning during workshops separated in 3 tracks. Fourth day will be reserved for leisure.

Different is the content of the tracks. We will have:

Basic track - similar like last year, oriented to pure eZ beginners, focused more on ez5 stack
eZ track - first day focused on advanced eZ4 advanced stuff, rest of the time focused on new stuff available from version 5.1
Symfony track - first day basics, rest of the time more advanced stuff

eZ Publish 5 Virtual Machine

eZ Publish Community Gateway — Fri, 17 May 2013 02:23:37 GMT

Some details on using Vagrant to setup an eZ Publish 5 virtual machine to run eZ Publish Community Project 2013.4

eZ Publish 5 Virtual Machine

Bruce Morrison — Fri, 17 May 2013 02:17:10 GMT

One of the most common issues of newcomers to eZ Publish is the setup of a system suitable for running it. Without a correctly configured system in place they usually do not get beyond the installation process and abandon their evaluation before having experienced the product.

The eZ Publish puppet module is an attempt to codify the requirements for running eZ Publish and provide a means for automatically creating a system suitable for running it - no more following a checklist of "setting up eZ Publish on XYZ".

The eZ Publish 5 Virtual Machine can be found on github at https://github.com/brucem/vagrant-puppet-ezpublish. It combines Vagrant, VirtualBox & Puppet to generate a VM with the current eZ Publish community version (2013.4) installed and ready to be configured.

The README.md provides details of the requirements and how to use it.

Vagrant is a system that orchestrates the automatic creation and configuration of systems. It has been used to define a system that provides a platform to run eZ Publish.

By default Vagrant uses VirtualBox to provide a local Virtual Machine environment. This allows for systems (guests) to be created and destroyed locally in isolation to your own system (host). For example if you want to test a version of eZ Publish that requires a newer version of PHP that you have installed, you can do so using a VM solution and not have to update your local system, potentially breaking other functionally.

Many thanks to +André Rømcke for his input and help in polishing both the eZ Publish puppet module & eZ Publish 5 Virtual Machine setup.

I'm happy to receive issues with or without pull requests on either repository via github.

If you use it or have any questions let me know in the comments!

Why and how to start contributing to an enterprise open source CMS community

Mugo Web — Mon, 13 May 2013 23:43:00 GMT

Open source communities rely very strongly on the community to advance the software in question. eZ Publish adds the "enterprise" part to "enterprise open source content management system" by not only targeting larger enterprises but by also adding a company vendor -- eZ Systems -- behind the software. This helps spur development forward on a consistent pace. However, there is still immense value in having the implementation partner companies contribute their code and insights. Contributing back might not be a natural thing for the partner companies to do; if you're such a partner company, here's why you should and how to do it.
