Apache Jackrabbit News & Articles

Having content that no one can find, not even your own users, is useless. Every Web CMS project and company has to face this issue at some point. What to do about search?

These days, many come to exactly the same answer.

This year, ApacheCon US returns to the San Francisco Bay Area -- the home of the Apache Software Foundation, which celebrates its 10th birthday in 2009. The conference will span over several days (November 2-6) and promises to be an “exciting celebration” of a decade of great coding, while offering a peek into the future of Open Source.

This conference should be like no other ApacheCon before with a feast of BarCamps, Get Togethers, featured tracks, evening events and a birthday bash to celebrate and acknowledge the achievements of the ASF committers and members. Another perk is that this year’s conference is cheaper and offers many free sessions to get you out of that bad economy blues.

Well, good news! Since we discussed Chemistry with David Nuescheler  -- Day Software's CTO and one of Chemistry committers -- the CMIS implementation project has been officially incubated at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF).

Now, let's do some Chemistry with another major contributor to the project -- open source enterprise CMS vendor, Nuxeo, and its head of R&D Florent Guillaume.

The CMIS specification is still in early stages, but the buzz around it is consistently loud. Most recently, the spec has piqued interest of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF), as some saw a "reference implementation" ingredient missing from the CMIS recipe for success.

Meet Chemistry -- a recently-proposed Apache Incubator Project with a goal of creating a generic, open-source, Java-language implementation of CMIS.

CMSWire had an opportunity to talk to one of Chemistry committers -- Day Software's David Nuescheler -- to get more insight into the project.

Hippo, a vendor in open source Enterprise Content Management and Portal technology, has launched version 7.0 of its Content Management System.

In the new release, Hippo CMS boasts easier categorization of content “that is not found in other open source CMS product,” in addition to a completely revamped technology core based on Apache Jackrabbit.

The Apachean Jack-of-All-Rabbits devotion sounds quite familiar, doesn’t it?

Our hearts are thumping and adrenalin levels are high as we tell you about the just-released Day’s CQ5 WCM. To get as close as possible to a real-life experience, we went ahead and installed the software from scratch and played with it for a couple of days. It was a fun ride.

Without further due, let’s jump in and see what Day came up with after three years of WCM silence.

It’s a Swiss treats day for a Swiss vendor. Enterprise CMS provider Day Software has received the Swiss Open Source Award 2008 in the business category.

Recipe for success? Mix two tablespoons of Day with several pounds of a new chief marketing officer, who has arrived from Interwoven via the open source devout Alfresco. And, voila! The open source awards will follow.

Day’s recently-onboarded CMO Kevin Cochrane tells us all the glorious details about this award and (much) more — including, why he left Interwoven and Alfresco.

Day Software, well known for their Communiqué content management solution, has just released the latest version of their Content Repository with some interesting new enhancements.

These enhancements provide enterprise level implementations with more advanced backup and recovery, higher performance and scalability and increased development capabilities.
