Come to the inaugural Toronto Liferay User group meeting to hear Brian Kim, Liferay founder and current COO, talk about the future of this open source portal and GTA developers who have been working with Liferay. We'll be discussing performance, adapting the Liferay portal to the needs of specific projects, approaches for integrating with other systems, and development technologies used including AJAX and the portal standards JSR-168 and JSR-286.
York University recently launched My.Yorku.ca using Liferay Portal; it was named by Infoworld's as the best open-source portal of 2007; it was recently named a "visionary" by Gartner in its Magic Quadrant for Horizontal Portal Products, 2008; and in May of this year, Sun Microsystems Inc and Liferay announced an initiative to develop a common Web presentation platform that incorporates portal and integration technologies from both companies.
