Hi Jukka,

I am interested and glad to help. Included below is my latest proposal  
that was turned down twice this year (both Europe 2009 and ApacheCon  
US 2009). If you find it to be an interesting subject, I'd be glad to  
present it at the Content Technology track.

Content Driven Portals with Jetspeed and Jackrabbit

If you are looking for a solution that provides end to end content  
management and
           portal based delivery, all under a business friendly, open  
source Apache license, this
           presentation is for you.  Target audience is for software  
developers, system
           integrators and managers interested in Apache's offerings  
of Open Source
           Portal and Enterprise Content technologies. This one hour  
presentation will be
           short on theory and high on live demonstrations of the  
Jetspeed and
           Jackrabbit projects.  (Jetspeed is the portal, Jackrabbit  
is the Java Content Repository (JCR)).

           Features discussed and demonstrated include:

           * Content Creation - A look at how to create content with  
Jackrabbit and a CMS
           * Portal Site Management - navigating over content in  
Jetspeed
           * Content Management - managing content with an advanced,  
open source Content Management System
           * Content Delivery - delivering enterprise content in Java  
standard portlets alongside enterprise applications
           * Tools - working with a JCR Site Toolkit to rapidly  
develop content-based applications that run transparently in a portal  
and in plain websites

           Using Jetspeed + Jackrabbit + Site Toolkit, a demo will be  
given showing how to rapidly develop a collaborative enterprise  
application.
