December 1, 2017 — Sicherheitslücken gibt es in jeder Software, auch in Content-Management-Systemen (CMS). Rund 97% aller Cyberangriffe erfolgen auf solche Sicherheitslücken. Deshalb ist es immens wichtig, dass Sicherheitsupdates zeitnah eingespielt werden.

Doch die Zeitfenster zwischen dem Bekanntwerden einer Sicherheitslücke und den automatisierten Angriffen werden immer kürzer. Mit dem Veröffentlichen des Updates wird im Normalfall auch der Angriffspunkt bekannt und kann ausgenutzt werden. Hier liegt der Gedanke nahe, dass die Webhoster solche Angriffe über die Web Application Firewall abfangen können, so sie denn nur rechtzeitig davon erfahren.

Der Name des Projekts, SIWECOS, steht für Sichere Webseiten und Content-Management-Systeme. Das Projekt hilft kleinen und mittelständischen Unternehmen (KMU) beim Vermeiden von Cyberangriffe auf ihre CMS. Im Rahmen der Initiative IT-Sicherheit in der Wirtschaft ist SIWECOS vom deutschen Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie gefördert. Die Initiative will vor allem KMU beim sicheren Einsatz von Internet- und Telekommunikationssystemen unterstützen.

October 16, 2017 — otre site est lent depuis un bon moment et vous ne savez tout simplement pas quoi faire. Ce matin, en vous rendant sur votre site, celui-ci n’affiche tout simplement plus. Vous contactez votre hébergeur pour vous rendre compte que votre site web a été piraté. Ayayaye! La journée commence bien mal….

Ce scénario qui semble irréaliste se produit chaque jour. Ne soyez pas la prochaine victime.

Cette démonstration utilisera un véritable site WordPress hébergé sur le web, et le site sera “mal conçu”, “non-optimisé”, “non-sécurisé”, piraté, alouette!

Venez nous aider à sauver un site web de sa terrible situation et surtout, vous préparer à ce que ça ne vous arrive jamais.

February 3, 2017 — The WP REST API infrastructure was introduced in WordPress 4.4. The introduction of this infrastructure allows WordPress developers to now use WordPress as a headless CMS. A headless CMS has its frontend component (the head) stripped and removed from its backend, and what remains is a backend delivering content via an API. Some common use cases for headless CMS are as follows:

* Serving data to other web applications
* Mobile Apps
* Websites and web apps built with MVC-style JavaScript frameworks

Developers can install the WP REST API plugin to expose endpoints for WordPress for posts, pages, media and users. Developers can also extend the WordPress core REST infrastructure to register their own endpoints for custom post types and WordPress options.

The WP REST API plugin will expose database content via JSON. This data can be used by developers to create sites using JavaScript frameworks such as React and also use the JSON data in mobile apps.

Bronson will explain and demonstrate how you can use WordPress and the WP REST API to create a website that uses React on the frontend and WordPress on the backend as a headless CMS.

February 2, 2017 — We have recently developed an online marketing collateral portal for a huge franchise business in Australia. Zambrero hired us to build a complete custom build portal which would generate pdfs for franchisee’s.

The marketing team would create their own marketing material in this portal which is completely code free…

The power of WordPress in conjunction with gravitypdf and gravity forms has made this all possible…

We have built many websites which have broken the conventional use of WordPress and made our clients very happy with the end result and we want to show people to think outside the box when it comes to WordPress and what it actually can do.

December 10, 2016 — As many museums move towards diverse open data policies, one would assume their choice of CMS would follow suit. One would be WRONG.

In this talk I will begin by reviewing the current state of technology in museums, with a focus on their usage of open source Content Management Systems (where Drupal reigns supreme and WordPress is only for blogging). I will discuss why the perceived lack of os software competition in this sector keeps museums trapped in systems they cannot afford to update. I will end by sharing ways the OS community can get involved in the would of Cultural Institutions.
