In that team, he currently holds the position of Liferay's CEO (start listening, and you'll get it) Bryan was part of my welcome committee when I started working for Liferay in 2010, and that's where we start the conversation. Here are some of the topics that we talked about: Bryan...

One thing that I commonly see Liferay admins doing is changing the user.timezone JVM parameter to their local timezone. I mean, I get why this might seem like a good idea. I only serve users around me who are in the same timezone. I don't like the logs showing the GMT time instead of the local time. I want everything to reflect my particular timezone. When I query the database, it...

On and around 24 September (depending on your exact timezone), we'll host the very first /dev/24 livestream.

At Liferay we take our Open Source roots seriously and are increasing our commitment to the movement. When we look at how people can contribute to Liferay Portal, one of the bigger hurdles was that our contribution process is quite complex – including having to create a JIRA ticket and through that sign our Liferay Portal Contributor’s Agreement. That required setting up an account...

I just want to give everyone a heads up and let you know that the Community Security Team will be releasing a new community security patch on September 1 for Liferay Portal 7.2.1 and 7.1.3. We hope this notice will give you some time to prepare if you and your organization need a bit of time to prepare.

We get requests at Liferay for an ER diagram for the database regularly. We do not have an ER diagram, nor are there any intentions to create one for the database. One of the most important reasons behind this decision is that any CRUD operations to the database simply SHOULD NEVER be made by anything except the Liferay API. Making manual changes in a Liferay database violates support...

Malcolm Gladwell is often misquoted as saying, and I'm paraphrasing here, you need 10,000 hours in a subject to become an expert. It's a phrase many of us have heard, whether attributed to Gladwell or not. Actually what he did imply in his book Outliers: The Story of Success is that you need 10,000 hours in a subject to become a phenom, the expert's expert, the grandmaster in chess or...

Maybe you are (or have been at some point) afraid of sharing with the community, submitting a proposal to a Conference, or a User Group meetup because you think that you don’t have anything interesting, that your experiences or findings are not worth it, they are not a big deal. If you are one of those, or you know someone suffering from those symptoms, stay with me through this...

I spent some time understanding the patching tool and I found that the patching tool's store option is very useful when it comes to comparing patches with custom modules. Use case : You have Liferay Portal instance with fixpack say liferay-fix-pack-de-89-7010.zip and hot fix say liferay-hotfix-7477-7010.zip. And now you come across a scenario where you found a liferay bug. You...
