Thursday Meetup

10:45 - 11:00		Welcome - George Bina
11:00 - 11:30	Video Presentation Slides	New Product - Oxygen XML Web Author - George Bina George Bina - Syncro Soft Based on the Oxygen XML WebApp technology introduced 2 years ago at XML Prague, Syncro Soft releases a new product, Oxygen XML Web Author, that provides browser based XML authoring support. This is a web application that comes with connectors for GitHub, and SharePoint while additional connectors can be plugged in and easily configured.
11:30 - 12:00		Coffee Break
12:00 - 12:30	Video Presentation Slides	Controlling The User Experience When Editing XML Visually - Alexandru Jitianu Alexandru Jitianu - Syncro Soft Different types of users working with different XML vocabularies imply different authoring needs. Having this in mind, Oxygen 17.1 provides the means to tailor the authoring environment for specific needs by supporting a new range of CSS properties. We will go through some of these properties and we will present scenarios in which they are helpful. We will also go over another mechanism in Oxygen, designed to help with structure insertion and to keep the document valid. We will quickly remind you of this “smart editing” feature, how you can extend it even further and present what we've improved in the upcoming Oxygen version 18.
12:30 - 13:00	Video Presentation Slides	Schematron & Schematron Quick-Fix In Oxygen - Octavian Nadolu Octavian Nadolu - Syncro Soft Due to the feedback that we received from our users, Oxygen has continued to improve the support for Schematron and Schematron QuickFix (SQF). You can use XSLT 3.0 in Schematron schemas and as well as multilingual messages. Oxygen extended the SQF support for resolving errors in documents other than the current one and allows the users to specify values to be used when executing a fix.
13:00 - 13:30	Video Presentation Slides	Controlled Values & Markup Options - Alexandru Jitianu Alexandru Jitianu - Syncro Soft The content completion support in Oxygen is driven by the schema but there are cases in which these values come from an external data source or the schema can't be altered. To handle these situations, in Oxygen 18.0, we've added support for a configuration file that allows not only to specify attribute/element values but also to restrict the elements and their children.
13:30 - 15:00		Lunch Break
15:00 - 15:30	Video Presentation Slides	User Interface Improvements - Alexandru Jitianu Alexandru Jitianu - Syncro Soft Oxygen version 17.0 and 17.1 focused a lot on design to make a more intuitive and enjoyable working environment. We will cover the new Color Themes and User-defined themes, the customizable toolbars and the HiDPI and Retina support.
15:30 - 16:00	Video Presentation Slides	Dynamic Conversions Through URLs - George Bina & Claudius Teodorescu George Bina & Claudius Teodorescu - Syncro Soft / XML Consultant An interesting way of applying conversions dynamically is to encode the conversion process as a custom URL implementation. Oxygen implements a custom URL by registering the "convert" URL scheme and allows you to specify within the URL different processing steps (based on XSLT, XQuery, Java, JavaScript, etc.) that can be applied on a target content. We will present this idea together with examples of how this can be used. Finally, we invited Claudius Teodorescu to share how he used this functionality in one of his projects.
16:00 - 16:30		focheck XSL-FO Framework - Tony Graham Tony Graham - Antenna House The open source 'focheck' framework, which is bundled with Oxygen 17.1, is a new approach to validating XSL-FO. This presentation covers the challenges and the 'focheck' solution for validating XSL-FO as well as how 'focheck' is designed to work as an Oxygen add-on framework to provide validation and editing support as you type.
16:30 - 17:00		Coffee Break
17:00 - 17:30	Video Presentation Slides	Three-way XML Diff - Octavian Nadolu Octavian Nadolu - Syncro Soft Applying line based diff algorithms for detecting the changes in XML documents when a versioning system is used is not ideal, as these algorithms ignore the XML structure and thus they present a lot more changes than the actual XML changes. A three-way XML-aware comparison of documents solves this problem. This is one of the core functionality we have been working on during the last months and which we hope to make generally available in the next Oxygen version. Another interesting aspect is the possibility to compare documents in the Author visual editing mode instead of the Text editing mode - this is another area that we explored and we want to share the results with you.
17:30 - 18:00	Video Presentation	DITA-SEMIA – DITA Semantic Information Architecture - Patrik Stellmann Patrik Stellmann - GDV Dienstleistungs-GmbH & Co. KG DITA-SEMIA is a set of open-source tools that support information architects creating specialized, semantic DITA frameworks. The plugins integrate well with the Oxygen XML editor and DITA-OT to support both authoring and publishing. The session will give an overview of the features currently available and planned for the near future. This includes: XSLT-Conref: An extension of the standard conref concept of DITA with an XSL transformation. XSLT-Gui: A Set of Saxon extension instructions that allow interaction with the user from within a transformation scenario or XSLT author operation. Content by Attributes: Allows to set predefined content (e.g. titles, table headers and prefixes) for specialized DITA elements within the schema using attribute default values without the need to individually customize the CSS or DITA-OT. Advanced mechanism for defining and referencing keys: Allows to implicitly define key values with type, name, namespace, and description and comfortably reference it.
18:00 - 18:30	Video Presentation	Panel - What Is Next For Oxygen? - George Bina, Adrian Buza, Alexandru Jitianu, Octavian Nadolu - Syncro Soft George Bina, Adrian Buza, Alexandru Jitianu, Octavian Nadolu - Syncro Soft Meet Oxygen developers and see what is planned for the future. Ask any question and we will be happy to respond. Share your feedback with us and with the other Oxygen users!

Saturday Workshop

15:00 – 16:00	Video Presentation Slides	Workshop: Oxygen Plugins Development - Alexandru Jitianu - Syncro Soft Alexandru Jitianu - Syncro Soft The support that Oxygen provides for XML vocabularies can be customized to match various audiences' requirements through an extensive array of extension points. To facilitate such customizations, we provide a start-up project that contains samples for every major type of extension. In this workshop we will present: The structure of the SDK sample project with emphasis on what each module does and in which situation it can help. The structure of an Oxygen's plugin. The difference between the text page API and the author page API. The creation of a sample plugin that contributes a toolbar and a sample view. This view will use our API to interact with the text page and the author page. Prerequisites In order to save some time during the workshop it is recommended to: Install Java Development Kit (preferable version 8): http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html. Install Maven on your system (please make sure you are taking a Maven version compatible with the installed JDK): https://maven.apache.org/download.cgi. Configure Maven according to https://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_sdk_maven.html#maven_sdk_configuration. Install the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (or an Eclipse with the m2e plugin), version 4.3 or later: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. Create the SDK start-up project (this step ensures every other step was successful, especially the Maven configuration): https://www.oxygenxml.com/oxygen_sdk_maven.html#maven_sdk_sample_project_eclipse An installation of Oxygen XML Editor (preferably version 17). If you're having trouble with any of the above please write us on and we will help you setting it up.
