Necessity is the mother of invention. We at OverStory had the necessity of running XRay unit tests on MarkLogic from within a Gradle build. But we were mildly surprised that there was no easy way to do that, so we invented an XRay plugin for Gradle.

Cambridge University Press (CUP) has launched the Cambridge Core online publishing service, using critical components delivered by OverStory.
March 16 & 17, Liverpool
OverStory sponsored The University Press Redux conference at Liverpool University Press on March 16th and 17th 2016.
This event is an annual gathering of University Press organizations, and was hosted this year at the University of Liverpool.
It was a very informative conference, with speakers from many UK presses as well as those from the US. The content ranged from subjects such as the future purpose of the University Press, it's niche and relationship to readers, funders and libraries, through to the technicalities of creating a business case for transitioning to an XML workflow.
OverStory were proud to sponsor this event. Chris and Ron attended, and we gained a closer insight into this world, and met some lovely people from both sides of the Atlantic.
The slides are available now, as is the Storify commentary too.
