  3. Well done eXo ![ Go to top ]

    Yup, well done to the whole eXo Platform team!
    It's a real pleasure to see such an awesome product progressing that quickly.

    Moreover, it's also very nice to see different teams helping each other as this has been the case here: the Groovy team is really pleased to have helped you with your integration of Groovy.

    And we would also like to thank you and the XWiki team for having generously sponsored a wonderful dinner during the recent Groovy / JSR-241 conference.

    Yes that was a great help. Without it, it would have taken us much more time to enable a sub JCR tree to become a Groovy class path and therefore to allow optimized groovy scripts online modifications.

    Oops, more photos of me with glasses of wine in the hand...:)

    Great, I've been waiting a long time for your v2 now. All those nifty features complete our toolbox perfectly for the work we do against our customers.

    We developed and deployed sucessfull sollutions on the v1 allready and we are eagerly waiting for a release of v2 as this release seems to promise far more than the excelent v1 did.

  9. Congratulations for v2[ Go to top ]

    Hi,benj, congratulations for the v2 and your team's hard working. It's amazing to see so many components and subprojects added to exo which enrich the meaning of the portal greatly!

    I'm busy with my final paper and final project now,And I can't get on the yahoo messager for my school's firewall,so I just congratulation here!

    As I see there is a BI project! But I can't visit it's demo site now. I'm using a open source data miner weka for my final project now,and it works greatly.

    Good work Benjamin ! congratulations for the v2 from both Bonita and JOnAS project teams. Hope the JOnAS version of eXo will be available pretty soon.

  12. JOnAS support of eXo Portal[ Go to top ]

    Hi,

    Miguel- you did not have to wait for a too long time.

    JOnAS version of eXo Portal 1.1RC1 is now downloadable from this link: http://forge.objectweb.org/project/showfiles.php?group_id=151.

    The next step is the integration of Bonita Workflow and eXo. That way the ObjectWeb ecosystem can be totally leveraged.

    Thank you to Benjamin and his team for this release and, above all, for opening me the doors of this great project!

    -Brice.

    Congrats to all the eXo Platform team. Looks like eXo is gaining good momentum and is becoming a reference in open source portals these days...

    Nice synerby with other ObjectWeb projects too: SpagoBI, JOnAS, etc. Keep up the good work.

    PS: hey TSS team -- a hint; maybe you should use eXo too, TSS would probably be a little more stable ;-)!

  19. Future integration with Petals Services Platform[ Go to top ]

    Great work Benjamin and eXo Team. I really like the idea of seeing eXo v2 featured product line integrated with Petals Services Platform, as a distinguished offer to a SOA integration approach.

  20. Future integration with Petals Services Platform[ Go to top ]

    Thanks Rafael

    There can be two ways integration of portal platform in an ESB platform.

    First we can monitor through the portal all the statitics info the bus can log (and even more if we introduce BI...).

    Second, the portal platform itself can expose some services to the bus (thanks to webdesrvices and JBI) such as organisational info.

    We had some interesting discussion with you on that in our last meeting in Hanoi, VN for the Object conference and hope to see you in Paris in january for the ObjectWeb conf 2006 but that's a long trip from Brasil (http://objectwebcon06.objectweb.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome).

    Note that we also discussed with James Strachan from ServiceMix during the last Groovy JSR meeeting in Paris. And portal in an ESB is definitively an important piece....BEA will probably not say I am wrong :)

    This release will surely give a boost to open source portal market. Business Intelligence through portals adds a new dimension to this market.

    Congrats and wishing all the very best to exo team for their fine efforts.

    Indeed Vik,

    That will also boot the BI commercial market as vendors like BO or Cognos just tend to move towards a web unified platform to present in the same site all the different types of reports ....but in non standards way as none of those vendors provide JSR 168 compliant portals.

    Also when you see that BO licenses are around 1000 euros per user, that only 20% of the capabilities are used than you can see the huge market that Open Source portal and BI solutions can grasp with that new BI web unified platform trend!

    That is a good thought. I have been trying to push another opensource portal (I didn't know about SpagoBI at the time) and it just seems like management is not interested. I can't understand why they don't want to spend money in places it can be really used.

    Depends on companies (large or small) but many, and more and more management, go the open source way for cost reduction.

    Why pay more for a product that is not even better :)

    Contact us if you need BI products for an affordable price.

  29. What about Byline project (formerly Red hat product)[ Go to top ]

    Good news for the eXo Platform
    But does the Byline project still alive ?
    No release since August 31, 2004 ...

    Definition of Byline =
    Suite of enterprise applications that include content management, portal, and collaboration capabilities.

  30. What about Byline project (formerly Red hat product)[ Go to top ]

    You are right it is dead :)

    They entered ObjectWeb at the same time as us but did not continue the effort as the product was based on older technologies.

    They did not find their community...

  31. GPL license and standards[ Go to top ]

    Exoplatform is a great work, and a bundle of good open source projects.
    The whole is released under GPL, and that's ok.
    I have a portlet based ecommerce solution under a proprietary license. It's portlet and JSF standards based, so it's not linked to your solution and it can be hosted in other portals.
    My dependencies are on standards, licensed by Sun and others, so installing your solution and configuring it for my portlets is like installing a commercial application in Linux, isn't it? I say, my product can legally be not GPL licensed.
    I read a lot, and for a long time, about GPL, but I ask you to express your view on this specific point.
    Talking about containers and standard-API implementations, I think GPL is, actually, less restrictive than for custom libraries or applications.
    Willing to clarify, greatings, bye.

  32. GPL license and standards[ Go to top ]

    Hi Daniele

    First, let me tell you that I read your post on Javalobby and that I hope that now you know eXo you think it is the best of the Open Source (and hopefully closed source) portals.

    For us as long as you don't distribute eXo with your portlets then of course you don't need to use the GPL license for it. Just let your customer install eXo by itself as he would indeed fo for any Linux solution.

    The important point is the distribution notion.

    Nevertheless, if you want to leverage a preconfigured eXo configuration with your portal and distribute it to your customers then you will need to either use the GPL license or the commercial one.
