10:50 - 11:00	Video Presentation Slides	Lightning Talk - Contributing to the Toolkit via GitHub - Roger Fienhold Sheen Roger Fienhold Sheen - infotexture Now that the toolkit is hosted on GitHub, it's easier than ever to contribute changes to the DITA-OT code. Roger will demonstrate how to fork the repository, create a new branch, change the necessary files and submit a pull request.
11:00 - 11:30		Coffee break
11:30 - 12:10	Video Presentation Slides	RNG to DTD and XSD using the DITA Open Toolkit - Eliot Kimber Eliot Kimber - Contrext The new version of DITA, version 1.3, will use Relax NG as the normative grammar to express the DITA content models. George proposed this idea and provided a working prototype under the DITA-NG open source project and Eliot took this further making it an official proposal for DITA 1.3 and finalized its implementation. See how Relax NG simplifies the way DITA content models and specializations are defined and what other benefits it brings to DITA 1.3.
12:10 - 12:50	Video Presentation Slides	Extending the DITA Open Toolkit: How crazy can you get? - Robert Anderson Robert Anderson - IBM DITA-OT includes extension points that let you do any number of things. This session will cover what's available, what you should or shouldn't extend, and give out sample plugins to slice and dice your content.
12:50 - 13:00	Video Presentation Slides	Lightning talk - dita2rdf: from trees to triples - Colin Maudry Colin Maudry - Semaku The dita2rdf plugin is meant to extract metadata from DITA content and produce an RDF/XML output, which is a serialization of the W3C RDF standard. The final objective is to get insights from the DITA content by querying its metadata as a graph, not as a tree-like in XML. It also potentially enables the connection of the DITA metadata with other types of entities such as products, people, events, etc.
13:00 - 14:30		Lunch
14:30 - 15:10	Video Presentation Slides	PDFs from the DITA Open Toolkit: The Easy and the Not-so-Easy - Leigh White Leigh White - DITA Specialist, IXIASOFT With a few simple changes, it's possible to give the DITA-OT's default PDF output much of your own look and feel. If you need to develop a DITA proof of concept for your organization, these changes might be all you need to get the ball rolling. Join Leigh to find out what's easy to do, what's not quite so easy to do, and where the real heavy lifting is.
15:10 - 15:50	Video Presentation Slides	DITA Open Toolkit PDF Plugins Without Fuss, Muss, or Writing XSL-FO - Jarno Elovirta Jarno Elovirta - main DITA-OT developer Did you know that you can create customized PDF plugins using an easy online tool?

17:00 - 17:10	Video Presentation Slides	Lightning Talk - SCORM Wrapper for DITA to SCORM - Hal Trent Hal Trent - Comtech Services Hal Trent of Comtech will present a SCORM wrapper developed for learning and training output, which could be potentially donated to the DITA-OT. The wrapper incorporates the current DITA to SCORM output and adds a layer of JavaScript with the SCORM API to integrate the output generated from the DITA-OT into an LMS. The wrapper passes test completion status to and from the LMS and provides a much needed output for the learning and training implementation.
17:10 - 17:20	Video Presentation Slides	Lightning Talk - Publishing DITA Content Re-Used in Different Context in EPUB and Eclipse Infocenter by Using DITA-OT - Gunthilde Sohn Gunthilde Sohn - Instinctools On the example of ice hockey rule books, we show how easy content can be re-used by creating new context variants and how it can be published to EPUB or into an Eclipse help infocenter.
