Abstract

This session did cover different themes from online communities built by Software AG with OpenCms:

  • Code Samples with IDE integration.
  • Event management through a calendar with MS Exchange integration.
  • Integration with a ticket based Single Sign On system.
  • A Blogging module completely based on OpenCms.
  • Useful backend extensions like for example an FTP Folder.
