As you know, we changed a few things in our underlying architecture for Clearspace 2.0, including some changes in the Freemarker templates as a result of moving from Webwork to Struts along with some other changes. In this video, Matt Walker, Professional Services Engineer at Jive Software, talks about the process of upgrading existing themes along with plenty of best practices to make your themes more easily upgradeable in the future.

What happens when Jive Software engineers take the day off of their regular jobs to squash bugs? Watch and find out ... stick around for the outtakes at the end.
And no, Jive engineers are not greenish colored elves. You can blame the videographer (me) for having the camera on some weird setting; however, the video has some really fun content that I wanted to share despite the poor quality of the recording.
Occasionally at Jive Software, our developers take a day off from their regular jobs to spend the day writing plugins for our products. After taking Friday off to write plugins for our new Clearspace product, we gathered at 4PM to do a quick review of our creations. This is what happens when a room full of Jive Software employees geek out over cool collaboration technology.
