Welcome to the DITA-OT Day 2015!

This is a full day conference dedicated to the DITA Open Toolkit project, DITA-OT which is the reference DITA implementation and the core of almost all DITA-based publishing solutions. This year we host the 2nd edition of DITA-OT Day after the huge success of DITA-OT Day 2014. You can find slides and recorded sessions of the last year event at the DITA-OT Day 2014 event page.

This free event is brought to you by Oxygen XML Editor with the help of the following DITA-OT Day supporters:

Agenda

8:45 - 9:10		Registration
9:10 - 9:30		Welcome and sponsor presentation - George Bina
9:30 - 10:05	Video Slides	What's new in DITA-OT - Kristen James Eberlein Kristen James Eberlein - Eberlein Consulting LLC and Chair, OASIS DITA Technical Committee What's new in DITA-OT? We'll cover major changes in both 2.1 and 2.2, with a focus on support for new DITA 1.3 features.
10:05 - 10:40	Video Slides	DITA-OT Patterns and Anti-patterns - Robert Anderson Robert Anderson - IBM What might often seem like a good way to use or extend DITA-OT, but likely result in trouble later? What is the alternative? This session will cover known traps that organizations have fallen into when using DITA-OT, and suggest how to avoid those issues or (perhaps with difficulty) recover from the mistakes. The session will leave time for discussion about other traps that audience members may have fallen into.
10:40 - 10:50	Video Slides	Lightning talk: Why "startcmd" is not your friend - Robert Anderson Robert Anderson - IBM The startcmd batch script made it possible for many to easily use DITA-OT, but whether you realize it or not, it's no longer really necessary. I'll briefly explain where it came from, why it was always more of a kludge than a Feature, and how better DITA-OT designs mean it's no longer needed.
10:50 - 10:55	Video Slides	Lightning talk: Markdown plugin - Roger Fienhold Sheen Roger Fienhold Sheen - Infotexture This talk introduces Jarno Elovirta’s DITA-OT Markdown plugins, which extend the DITA Open Toolkit so you can use Markdown files directly in topic references and export existing DITA content in Markdown format for use in other publishing systems. This makes it easier for people to contribute content to DITA publications, enables mobile authoring workflows, facilitates review processes with less technical audiences and expands the range of publishing options to workflows based on Markdown.
10:55 - 11:00	Video Slides	PDF generation with CSS - Radu Coravu Radu Coravu - Oxygen XML Editor Presenting new updates made to the DITA-OT plugin which can now be used to generate PDF from DITA and CSS using either Prince XML or Antenna House.
11:00 - 11:30		Coffee break
11:30 - 12:20	Video Slides	DITA-OT: Inside the black box - Jarno Elovirta Jarno Elovirta When creating a product, a good design is critical; in many cases, this rule applies not only to the outside, but also to the parts inside that normal users will not see. Unfortunately, to those who looked, the inner workings of the early toolkit seemed to have almost no design at all. In this session, we'll talk about how Jarno has cleaned up the hidden inner workings of the toolkit -- and how everyone benefits from these changes to things they might never see.
12:20 - 12:30	Video Slides	Lightning talk: DITA-OT ... reloaded! - Helmut Scherzer Helmut Scherzer - Giesecke & Devrient Professional writing can require several features that the present DITA-OT (2.1.1) has not implemented. There are several expensive plugins available as commercial products to improve that situation. Helmut Scherzer presents a match to highly professional DITA-OT extensions which contains a list of more than 20 new powerful features to PDF2 – offered to become part of the public DITA-OT.
12:30 - 12:40	Video Slides	Lightning talk: PDF5-ML Plug-in - features for practical use - Toshihiko Makita Toshihiko Makita - Antenna House Demonstrates the following features of PDF5-ML Multiple language in one document Conditional variable & style definition Free format cover pages
12:40 - 12:50	Video Slides	Lightning talk: DITA Community - Eliot Kimber Eliot Kimber - Contrext The DITA Community GitHub organization serves as a general place for people to contribute DITA Open Toolkit plugins and other DITA-related tools and utilities that are not maintained by DITA-OT or other projects. This presentation provides an overview of the DITA Community organization, what's there today, and how you can contribute.
13:00 - 14:40		Lunch
14:40 - 15:15	Video Slides	Creating DITA-OT constraint/specialisation plugins - Radu Coravu Radu Coravu - Oxygen XML Editor This presentation will address the problem of creating DITA constraints/specialisations to customize DITA to meet your specific needs. We will identify a problem, create a Relax NG constraint/specialization to solve it and convert that to DTD. All these will be packaged as a DITA-OT plugin.
15:15 - 15:50	Video Slides	How to run DITA-OT - Jarno Elovirta Jarno Elovirta There are multiples ways to run DITA-OT and some of them are good, some are bad, and some are just plain ugly. This presentation goes through different interfaces to DITA-OT and when to use them.
15:50 - 16:00	Video Slides	Lightning talk: Parameters annotations for DITA-OT plugins - Radu Coravu Radu Coravu - Oxygen XML Editor Each DITA-OT plugin provides a set of parameters that can be configured to customize the publishing process. As these need to be made available to users it is important to have an automated way of discovering these parameters and additional information about them - what they represent, what values are possible, etc. DITA-OT makes this possible by allowing parameters to be annotated.
16:00 - 16:15	Video	Lightning talk: Publishing with DITA-OT - the CMS perspective - Jean-François Ameye Jean-François Ameye - Ixiasoft Publishing from a CMS imposes specific requirements on the DITA-OT. We will review these requirements while showing how IXIASOFT integrated the DITA-OT into their Output Generator.
16:15 - 16:30	Video Slides	Lightning talk: Selling DITA with demo data - Joe Gollner Joe Gollner - Gnostyx Over a couple of years, the Gnostyx team has been preparing and refining a DITA Demonstration Data Set. It's purpose is to provide members of the community a functionally realistic data set with which to demonstrate DITA based applications. It was made available publicly in early 2015 and has since been adopted and used by several members of the DITA Community. This talk is really a demonstration of some of the business use cases that we use to convince business stakeholders that DITA demands serious attention. People will learn a little about the DITA Demonstration Data Set and some of the sales pitches that they might want to use, and to demonstrate, in the future.
16:30 - 17:00		Coffee break
17:00 - 17:10	Video Slides	Lightning talk: Multiple OT with Git - Eliot Kimber Eliot Kimber - Contrext If you need to maintain multiple configurations of the OT for day-to-day or minute-by-minute changes to the OT for different projects, clients, etc., you can use git to do it. There are some tricks and gotchas but it does work.
17:10 - 17:20	Video Slides	Lightning talk: DITA-OT documentation update - Roger Fienhold Sheen Roger Fienhold Sheen - Infotexture This talk provides an overview of recent changes to the DITA-OT documentation, points out open issues, highlights ideas for future improvements, and closes with room for suggestions from the community and a call for contributions.
17:20 - 18:30	Video	Panel - Quo vadis?
