[edit] About Tech Talk Live

Alfresco Tech Talk Live is a series of regularly scheduled sessions where attendees get to guide the discussion. Alfresco will host the sessions along with a panel of subject matter experts who will be prepared to answer your questions. While the bulk of the discussions will focus on Alfresco technology, we'll also be dedicating some time to open source and the technology space in general.

[edit] Episode Guide

Episode 1

Date: April 25, 2008

Title: Can you hear me now?

Panel: David Caruana, Luis Sala, Scott Davis, Jared Ottley, Jean Barmash, Richard Im, Jeff Potts

Web Recording: http://alfresco.acrobat.com/p18701924/

Podcast Recording: No MP3 is currently available.

Show Notes:

Aside from a few minor audio issues, our first episode went quite well. We talk about the Barcelona Community Conference, the 3.0 roadmap, WCM, ADW, LDAP, and Backups.

Questions Addressed (in rough order):

  1. Is it possible to let users be created on the fly when using Kerberos Authentication? I am asking because I have more than 100000 accounts where only a few will be using Alfresco. Now when I enable LDAP sync it will sync all accounts (including creating home spaces for them). This takes a long time.
  2. With regards to WCM and deploying on a remote server, I believe the remote server needs an Alfresco instance running on it - does that instance need access to the same DB as the authoring Alfresco instance?
  3. Are web forms going to be available on the DM Side?
  4. How do you do archiving with Alfresco?
  5. How do you backup Alfresco without shutting it down? (Hot Backups)
  6. Is it possible to list the users in workflow without having to sync them?
  7. We are thinking of deploying Alfresco on a Virtual Server running Centos with 4GB of RAM, 250GB Oracle DB, and 1TB Filestore. Is 4GB adequate for that?
  8. Is there a way to run a script with "admin" authority? So we can move a document to the folder that the user running the script does not have access to?
