I would like to thank Sumeet Sawant, Priyanka Shah, and Subho Gupta
at Packt Publishing for suggesting the project and getting it on track.
My thanks also goes to Sherin Padayatty and Michelle Quadros, my
Project Coordinators, who were always pushing me to deliver the
next chapter. Thanks to the entire Packt Publishing team for working
so diligently to help bring out a high-quality product.
Thanks to all the book reviewers who gave me invaluable feedback
during the whole project. Specifically, I would like to thank Robin
Bramely, my colleague at Ixxus, who gave me invaluable feedback,
tips, and ideas throughout the book writing process, thanks!
I must also thank the talented team of developers who created the
Alfresco open source product. It opens up a new way for everyone
that wants to build any kind of ECM business solution.
And finally, I would like to thank Paul Samuel and Justin Haynes at
Ixxus for supporting my book project.
About the Reviewers
Robin Bramley is an experienced Alfresco practitioner, having taken Version 0.6
to bits in 2005 and been using, extending, implementing, integrating, and scaling
it ever since. He was the Technical Manager at the first UK Alfresco Gold partner
where he built the original IMAP interface to Alfresco and is now the Chief Scientific
Officer and Chief Architect at Ixxus, a global Alfresco Platinum partner.
Robin has architected many distributed systems over the past 15 years, ranging
from Swaps Trading Platform to Insurance Contract Management and a global
Alfresco-based DAM system. Robin has presented at various international
conferences and meetups in London; he also writes for GroovyMag, including an
article on CMIS integration with Alfresco that NASA wanted the source code for.
I'd like to thank my wife for her patience while I've been glued to my
laptop in the evenings!
Karol Bryd has been working with ECM technologies since 2005, first with
Documentum and then with Alfresco since 2008. He has worked on numerous
ECM-related projects mainly in the Pharmaceuticals sector, performing all manner
of roles from Developer to Technical Consultant to Development Manager.
He was a technical architect at Generis (http://www.generiscorp.com) for CARA,
one of the first products to fully utilize Alfresco and CMIS technologies, and
subsequently, supported its deployment at major corporations. He is also the author
of the Alfresco extension Stamper (http://stamper.metasys.pl) for securing and
watermarking PDF content in Alfresco.
Currently, he holds the position of Documentum Expert at F. Hoffmann-La Roche,
where he is working on Documentum projects that help manage large amounts of
business-critical electronic documentation.
Nicolas Raoul is an ECM consultant at Aegif in Tokyo. After obtaining a Master's
degree from the French Ecole Nationale d'Ingenieurs, he worked in 13 countries,
successfully designing distributed architectures for the French National Library
or the Schengen Information System.
Back when CMIS was still in its draft stage, he created CmisSync, a CMIS
synchronization client that allows Alfresco users to work faster even when they are
offline. Enjoying a strong open source community, CmisSync helps organizations
combine the user friendliness and mobility of cloud storage with the security and
customizability of their CMIS server, be it on-premise or in private/public clouds.
As an ECM architect, he helped Alfresco design their certification program in 2009.
He has been writing open source software since the age of 16. In his free time, he
created AnkiDroid, a flashcards app with a million users, and other popular programs.
Barb Mosher Zinck is a freelance writer and VP, Editorial for CMSWire
(SimplerMedia Group Inc). She has over 10 years of experience as an IT solutions
architect, focused on designing and supporting web-based applications.
