I want to take a moment to announce that we are going to start referring to the open source builds of Liferay Portal as "Community Edition." We originally introduced Liferay Portal Enterprise Edition at the beginning of this year to provide a new subscription offering to organizations that wanted the benefits of open source software but wanted continued service packs on older...

Earlier this week, I did a demonstration of Liferay for a potential customer.  I think it went well, and for the most part, I was able to show them all of the capabilities of the product in which they were interested.  I showed them how good we are with things like private communities, user management, integration, permissions, themes and the dragging/dropping of portlets....

Mallorca is one of those places in the world that you have to visit. Like most places next to the the sea it provides a sense of calm that is very appreciated when you come from the busy Madrid. I had the pleasure of being there last week thanks to an invitation by one of our partners, IN2, who had organized an event about "Mission Critical Open Source Platforms". My talk was...

Most of the client (and potential client) locations I've visited in China have been in big, crowded, metropolitan cities.  This particular one was different since it was located on the outskirts of one of the largest southern cities.  We were visiting their headquarters which was strategically located next to their manufacturing plants.  I won't mention how long it...

That means the command svn co svn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/portal/trunk will not work, but the command svn co svn://svn.liferay.com/repos/public/portal/trunk --username guest will work. Access via...

Long time no post... I do a lot of our customer performance tuning jobs, and there are some guiding princliples that apply in every environment. A good place to start is to have a set of portal properties, xml configurations, and JVM flags that you know that you will use and apply every time. But that can only go so far, because every app is different and has different needs. ...

A common problem that comes up is the need to change how documents are stored in the Document Library. For example, you may start out storing documents using Jackrabbit hooked to a database. However, as time goes on and you find yourself using more Liferay deployments, the number of database connections reserved for Jackrabbit alone gets dangerously close to the maximum number of...
