Call for paper

Hello,

I'm submitting a presentation proposal for Apache Lenya. We were 
directed to this meeting by Florent André.

Topic: Technical - Internet
Language: English
Duration: 40 minutes
Title: Introduction to Apache Lenya
Abstract:

Apache Lenya is a Java and XML based content management system 
distributed by the Apache Software Foundation. The Apache Software 
Foundation, established in 1999, oversees 138 Open Source projects with 
over 2,000 committters. Lenya uses Apache Cocoon at its core, which 
provides great flexibility. The talk will cover the history of the 
project, current status, features, and usage.

Since Lenya is XML based, it is able to take arbitrary XML and transform 
it as necessary into other formats, including XHTML, via XSLT. This talk 
will cover examples of this use.

Main features include:

- Support for a variety of WYSIWYG Editors
- Default support for revisioning
- Customizable workflow engine
- Internationalization support
- Clean URLs
- Uses XSLT for templating
- Publication templating

The talk will conclude with future directions for the project.
