Topic

IBM’s long standing commitment to our clients is to deliver the right content to the right person at the right time and in the right place. To that end, IBM has embarked on a multi-year development initiative to create an end-to-end life cycle information management system. The system, known internally as IDCMS Blue, is intended to integrate and automate IBM Information Development processes and tools.

A significant element of IDCMS-Blue is information quality management.  Information quality management begins with information architecture  and extends through content authoring, editorial review, defect management, customer collaboration and feedback, and a variety of information usage statistics that when combined,  form the IBM quality management strategy based on structured authoring with DITA, Arbortext Editor, Acrolinx IQ, IBM Task Modeler and the IBM Eclipse Help System.

“Get Globally Fit — Reduce the Waste-line
and get to a better Bottom (line that is).”
Presented by Ben Martin, Flatirons Solutions
July 2009 Arbortext PTC/User Group Meeting

Again, we’ve had some trouble getting the video recordings of the user meetings posted.  Rather than delay further, we’re going to post as is — with a bit of an explanation.

This is a recorded version of a live Go2Meeting webcast. So far, we still haven’t been able to edit the video after it was recorded. I can recapture the audio with Camtasia, but Camtasia has issues with Go2Meeting recordings and reimporting the original video as an audio-only track.

So we’re posting the video as is.

There may be black screen in the beginning. We’ve discovered that Go2Meeting doesn’t record the Go2Meeting “stuff”. While all the participants may see the startup screen, the Go2Meeting recorder ignores it.  Result?  Black screen during the introduction.

If you’ve got the skills to edit this recording, we’d love to have a volunteer fix it or suggest to us how to do so.

In the meantime, you may want to skip forward a bit in the recording and you should go read Ben’s biography here.  The rest of the video is all live. There is at least one break where we stopped the recording so our attendees could ask and answer questions without going out on the recording. Otherwise, every last bit is completely live.

Access the video here. You may need the Citrix Go2Meeting codec which is available here.

“All about Arbortext Advanced Print Publisher”
Presented by Lawrie Stevens, Global Publishing Solutions
June 2009 Arbortext PTC/User Group Meeting

We’ve had some trouble getting the video recordings of the user meetings posted.  Rather than delay further, we’re going to post as is — with a bit of an explanation.

First, the initial recording during the user group meeting didn’t get recorded with sound. We didn’t send the audio through LiveMeeting, we sent it over a separate conference bridge that didn’t get recorded.

Second, we set up a Go2Meeting to re-record the same content. This time, we discovered that we couldn’t edit the video after it was recorded. I could recapture the audio with Camtasia, but even Camtasia had issues reimporting the original video as an audio-only track.

So we’re posting the video as is.

Please note that for the first three minutes there’s only a black screen. The other thing we discovered with Go2Meeting is that they don’t record the Go2Meeting “stuff”. While all the participants saw the startup screen, the Go2Meeting recorder ignored it.  Result?  Black screen during the introduction.

If you’ve got the skills to edit this recording, we’d love to have a volunteer fix it or suggest to us how to do so.

In the meantime, please skip forward 3 minutes or so, and read Lawrie’s biography here.  The rest of the video is all live APP demo. Nothing canned. There are a couple of breaks where we stopped the recording so he could find where his team located the files he wanted to show and so he could plan the next part of the demo, but as far as the rest of it goes, every last bit is completely live.

Access the video here. You may need the Citrix Go2Meeting codec which is available here.
