The JBUG.be team wishes you all a great year!

We'll be present at the upcoming FOSDEM '10. Fosdem is THE yearly open source conference at Brussels. We have a developers room to our disposal, Saturday 6th of February from 13h till 19h. The following topics have are planned:

Slot 1: JEE6/CDI

Slot 2: Camunda by Falko Menge

Abstract:
Business processes are typically long-running, contain wait states and
require time-outs as well as escalation mechanisms. Consequently,
hard-coding them in a general-purpose programming language like Java is
a lot of effort and hides the process logic inside the code. In contrast
to that, implementing business processes with a process engine can
greatly increase their transparency, efficiency, and flexibility.

After introducing the core concepts of business process management
(BPM), the talk provides an overview of JBoss jBPM 4, which is a
Java-based process execution engine. A concrete showcase demonstrates
what can be achieved with the Open Source BPM engine. The example
process is modelled using the Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN).

Bio:
Falko Menge is BPM consultant, trainer, and author with camunda services
GmbH from Berlin, Germany. He is committer in several BPM-related Open
Source projects.

Slot 3: Systems management with RHQ and Jopr

Abstract:
Jopr is the open source systems management and monitoring platform from JBoss / Red Hat.  While it is specially tailored towards JBoss projects,
it can be easily extended in various ways. This talk will present the Jopr / RHQ system and its architecture and then talk about the
extension points and how to write extensions for monitoring, management and alerting.
This presentation will also talk about the relation to RHQ-project.org, which used to be the upstream to Jopr and which now includes the Jopr bits.

Bio:

Heiko works for Red Hat and is Senior Developer on the Jopr / RHQ projects. He studied Computer Science at University of Karlsruhe and
used to create open source software for a long time. Heiko has written the first German book about JBossAS and one of the first German books on EJB3.

Having worked on Service Level Management before, he joined after being a Consultant the JBoss Operations Network team in 2006 and has been working on RHQ and Jopr since then.

When not working or otherwise hacking, Heiko likes running, playing with the kids and traveling. He lives in Stuttgart, Germany.

Slot 4: Drools by Mark Proctor

Slot 5: Mobicents

Abstract:
JAIN SLEE is a specification (JSR 240) of a real-time and event-based platform in JAVA. It can be seen as the equivalent of the JEE but for real-time and oriented to Telecommunication, especially NgIN and IMS. However, it could be used for any other JAVA applications requiring performance. In this talk we will introduce the JAIN SLEE throug the Mobicents project, the first certified-JAINSLEE 1.1 and open source application server from RedHat.
The presentation will cover :
* The JAIN SLEE component model and the event-driven programming
* The mobicents JAIN SLEE 1.2 features and the introduction to EclipSLEE the Service Creation Environment on Eclipse
* IMS example: we will show how we can implement a SIP registrar with JAIN SLEE. We will also show how a JAIN SLEE AS might be integrated in an IMS infrastructure.

Bio:
Sabri SKHIRI leads the Euranova R&D Department.
Sabri started his career as a researcher at the Université of Bruxelles in the graph layout area. He published several scientific papers on generic algorithms able to draw graphs according to the semantic of the application domain.

At Alcatel-Lucent he has been working on the JAIN SLEE container. He has developed the J2EE, JAIN SIP, SMPP, DIAMETER Ro, MLP, INAP and other resource adaptors and has participated to the architecture of the container.

Afterwards, he was responsible for the evolution of the OSP Telecom Application Server towards JAVA, J2EE and JSLEE.
Today, he leads the Euranova R&D department and manages internal research projects, back office R&D requests, technological watch for customers, technical assessments and innovation forums within Euranova.

Slot 6: JBoss ESB by Yoeri Roels

Abstract:

JBossESB is the next generation of EAI - better and without the vendor-lockin characteristics of old. As such, many of the capabilities mirror those of existing EAI offerings: Business Process Monitoring, Integrated Development Environment, Human Workflow User Interface, Business Process Management, Connectors, Transaction Manager, Security, Application Container, Messaging Service, Metadata Repository, Naming and Directory Service, Distributed Computing Architecture. JBossESB is part of an SOI (Service Oriented Infrastructure). However, SOA is not simply a technology or a product: it's a style of design, with many aspects (such as architectural, methodological and organisational) unrelated to the actual technology. JBossESB uses a flexible architecture based on SOA principles such as loose-coupling and asynchronous message passing, emphasizing an incremental approach to adopting and deploying an SOI.

Bio:

Yoeri Roels is a technical consultant at RealDolmen, a consultancy and integration firm in Belgium.
He has experience with J2EE (Spring, Hibernate, JSF, JBoss ESB, ..), J2ME (LWUIT, ..) and GWT (SmartClient, ..).

More info to come! Hope to see all of you there!

Written by Andries Inzé   
Wednesday, 28 October 2009 08:19

Please come join us for a combined community event for both Seam and Infinispan organised by Red Hat and JBUG.be. At this event will be presentations from both teams, opportunities to meet and ask questions of core developers, and food to sustain yourself. Beverages may be the responsibility of the attendee and buying a core developer a cold one could increase your chances of getting your question answered. :)

The event will be held on Friday, 20 November, at ViaVia Antwerp with the doors opening at 16:30. The first talk will begin at 17:05 with the second one ending by 19:30. Food to follow. We look forward to seeing you all there.

While this event is completely free to our community, we would like know how many people to expect and to notify you of any last minute changes. As such, if you are planning to attend, please register at http://tinyurl.com/devoxxresponseform

On the 9th of July, it is time to meet on our summer talks.

We will be accompanied by three real JBoss representatives.

The first Speaker will be Joram Barrez or Tom Baeyens (whoever wins/loses the fight), which will guide us through the final release of jBPM 4.0. The newest version will be out in the wild for just one week by then, so expect some hot news coming straight from the source. It'll be a good time to finally see what made it in this release and what they have planned for us later.

Carlo de Wolf, EJB3 Lead Developer at JBoss, will give us a first-class overview of the benefits of EJB3 in his presentation  "Why use Spring? Tip the scales using EJB3".

Galder Zamarreño from JBoss will give an introduction to Infinispan. This brief talk focuses on introducing the audience to Infinispan, the new  extremely scalable and highly available open source data grid platform. Offering  a JSR-107 compatible Cache interface, Infinispan uses data distribution  mechanism to provide extreme scalability levels. Based on a fast and lightweight core, it can also offer high availability via making replicas of state across a network as well as optionally persisting state to configurable cache stores. The talk will finish with a quick 5 minute GUI demo of Infinispan's data distribution capabilities.

This time Capgemini is so kind to provide us with an appropriate location. They are located in Diegem, Bessenveldstraat 19, which is between Brussels and the National Airport. The event starts at 18h00 and will finish with some drinks at 20h00.

Don't miss out and register for this event today.

Looking forward to meeting you,
The JBUG.be Team

Dear JBoss Fan,

 Due to a lack in speaker we decided to put the Lightning Talks event in the fridge for the time being. Instead we are working hard to launch another event, which will be more around the tested concept of 2-3 speaker.

More information about this very soon.

 Kind regards,
Andries
