General Session

Introducing Marketplace
(James Falkner, Liferay)
Liferay has built a strong and valuable platform with the services and capabilities you need -- portals, content management, collaboration, workflow, social networking, and a compelling user experience framework.  The Liferay Marketplace is the premier destination for complementary solutions built on the Liferay Platform, enabling Liferay customers, partners, ISVs, and the wider community to easily publish, share, and monetize these applications.  In this presentation, you will learn:

  • How the Marketplace works
  • How to use the Marketplace to find what you need
  • How to develop for and publish to the Marketplace
  • Marketplace Business and Technical guides

Liferay 6.1: Deep Dive - New Features and Improvements
(Jorge Ferrer, Liferay)

Liferay 6.1 is coming close - This session will give a broad overview over the new and improved features that will be detailed in other talks.

Liferay Marketplace: Participation Guide
(James Falkner, Liferay)

The Liferay Marketplace - introduced in an earlier general session - is not only about consuming, it's also about participating. James will lay out the options to publish your own applications and extensions on the marketplace.

Product Roadmap: Liferay 6.2
(Ed Chung, Liferay)
With Liferay Engineering deeply in the implementation cycles of Liferay Portal 6.1, Liferay Product Management gives a preview of what to look forward to in 2012 and beyond.  We will take a sneak peek at what Liferay is planning for the next evolution of its flagship product. Join us as we examine why Liferay Portal will remain your platform of choice into 2012 and beyond.

 

Closing Keynote: Too Resilient to Fail: Open Source and the Network Economy
(Bryan Cheung, Liferay)
In the wake of great economic turbulence over the last few years, commercial open source software has more than ever proved its value to companies seeking new ways of creating value for its customers, employees, and partners. But open source is simply an expression of greater socio-cultural trends that are transforming the way we do business. What are the different economic models available to us in the 21st century as we consider the lessons learned from our recent crises? Join Bryan as he shares his thoughts on the bigger picture around why our platform vision is about much more than just the Liferay eco-system.
