8:00 - 9:00		Registration
9:00 - 9:20		Welcome and sponsor presentation
9:20 - 9:30	Video	New DITA-OT 2.4 Release Announcement - Robert Anderson Robert Anderson - IBM
9:30 - 10:00	Video Slides	Internationalization and the DITA-OT: Who does what? - Robert Anderson Robert Anderson - IBM While tools can be used to simplify many things, localization can still be scary. In this session, we'll go over how the toolkit is set up to handle publishing in multiple languages: what comes out of the box? What should you expect to do on your own? And how has this changed over the last few releases? Also: stories of panic from the past!
10:00 - 10:30	Video Slides	Seven open-source DITA-OT plugins developed by Oxygen - Radu Coravu Radu Coravu - Oxygen XML Editor This session shows 7 DITA Open Toolkit open source plugins that the developers of Oxygen XML have created or updated this year including: DITA + CSS = PDF - This pre-existing plugin now was updated to add support for showing Oxygen track changes and comments. DITA Classic PDF Review - This plugin adds support for showing Oxygen track changes and comments in the classic PDF output. Media Support Plugin - Plugin which adds the possibility to embed videos (including YouTube videos) and audio resources in DITA topics and publish to HTML and PDF. DITA Merged - Plugin which produces a single merged XML file from the entire DITA content. DITA Relax NG Defaults - Plugin which adds support to a DITA-OT distribution to process Relax NG-based topics and maps.
10:30 - 11:00		Coffee break
11:00 - 12:00	Video Slides	DITA-OT internals and future development plans - Jarno Elovirta Jarno Elovirta The internals of DITA-OT are in perpetual motion and most of these changes are not visible to end users. In this talk we go through changes in the black box and describe future development plans.
12:00 - 12:10	Video Slides	Lightning Talk: Simplified contribution process for the DITA-OT documentation - George Bina George Bina - Oxygen XML Editor Now it is very easy to contribute to the DITA-OT documentation - just read the developer docs and use the "Edit" button to open the source topic from GitHub for editing. Save will automate all the contribution process, sending a pull request with your proposed changes.
12:10 - 12:20	Video Slides	Lightning Talk: Documentation Development(s) - Roger Fienhold Sheen Roger Fienhold Sheen - infotexture This talk provides an overview of recent changes to the DITA-OT documentation, points out open issues, highlights ideas for future improvements, and closes with room for suggestions from the community, a call for contributions and a brief demonstration of the pull request approval process that is applied when people submit changes to the development documentation via the /Edit this Page/ links.
12:20 - 12:30	Video Slides	Lightning Talk: Gotcha! Upgrading PDF plugins to DITA-OT 2.x - Leigh White Leigh White - IXIASOFT Technologies There are some significant changes to DITA-OT 2.x that can make upgrading PDF plugins written for earlier versions of the OT a challenge. Having just upgraded several plugins, and released a new edition of "DITA For Print," Leigh will share a few of the major things to look out for.
12:30 - 14:00		Lunch
14:00 - 14:30	Video Slides	Using the Open Toolkit Through Docker Containers - Eliot Kimber Eliot Kimber - Contrext Docker containers make it easy to package and use different configurations of software components. Docker containers can also provide the dependencies needed to run a given piece of software. For the Open Toolkit, you can use Docker containers to easily provision and run the Open Toolkit without worrying about the local Java configuration or other dependencies. Docker also makes it easy to set up custom configurations of the Open Toolkit or use different versions. This presentation shows how to use Docker-based Open Toolkit packages.
14:30 - 15:00	Video Slides	Large Scale Production Using Project Maps - Youssef BENNANI Youssef BENNANI - SAP SE This presentation will show how SAP has integrated the DITA Open Toolkit to create a large scale production infrastructure able to create daily builds producing 50 000+ outputs for all SAP Product documentation. This covers the end-to-end process from getting the DITA content from the CMS to publishing the produced outputs to the appropriate delivery channels, using so-called project maps as a key ingredient. Advanced features like peer linking across outputs will be shown, as part of the overall implementation.
15:00 - 15:30	Video Slides	Testing in DITA-OT - Jarno Elovirta, Robert Anderson Jarno Elovirta, Robert Anderson Jarno and Robert will discuss how the DITA-OT is tested, get feedback and talk about where we want to go.
15:30 - 16:10		Coffee break
16:10 - 16:20	Video Slides	Lightning Talk: Codeblock Quality Assurance instead of Errata - Jarno Elovirta Jarno Elovirta Fixing errors during authoring stage is cheap in both technical communication and software development; fixing errors after publishing is expensive. In this talk I demonstrate a QA method for software documentation in DITA.
16:20 - 16:30	Video Slides	Lightning Talk: DITA terminology management and checking - Stefan Jung Stefan Jung - DAKOSY AG I'd like to present how we manage and check terminology using the org.doctales.terminology plugin.
16:30 - 16:40	Video Slides	Lightning Talk: The use-cases for a "DITA to resolved DITA" transformation - George Bina George Bina - Oxygen XML Editor A DITA to simplified/resolved DITA transformation provides a solution for some of the possible issues with translating DITA. There are also other advantages, especially in connection to the increased dynamics in DITA-OT development. Join me to discover how a DITA to resolved DITA can help you!
16:40 - 17:10	Video Slides	Long term DITA-OT planning - Kristen EberleinRobert Anderson Kristen Eberlein - Eberlein Consulting LLC, Robert Anderson - IBM Kris and Robert will discuss the long term future of DITA-OT: what can we all do to ensure the continued health of this critical piece of the overall DITA infrastructure?
17:10 - 18:00	Video	Panel - Jarno Elovirta, Robert Anderson, Roger Fienhold Sheen, George Bina Jarno Elovirta, Robert Anderson, Roger Fienhold Sheen, George Bina
