Behind the Scenes with Bonita (14-20 Feb 2011)

Dear community,

BonitaSoft at the Lyon JUG on 15 February! Bonita Studio developer Mickael Istria presented his super Big Mac demo. Perhaps we can convince him to share it with the community.

Or, visit the Alpes JUG next week and catch a discussion of how to develop your applications with Bonita Open Solution by BOS (web) developer Anthony Birembaut.

Reminder: Our new Facebook page has been officially launched. Stop by and say hello.

The Latest from R&D

This week the R&D team has started brainstorming (the famous BonitaSoft Brown Bag Seminars sometimes serve as Brown Bag Problem Attacking Sessions) on ways to handle external data (both structured and unstructured) as variables to be managed by the Bonita engine. This poses some challenges; stay tuned.

Contributions

Some nice contributions from the folks at Bull Spain. They’ve got years of experience using Bonita to share with the community. And they are promising more! (Gracias, guys!)

And a “role resolver” from Bonita R&D:

  • Active Users use this Actor Selector to return a list of Actors who are assigned a task in a Process
"Role resolvers" (soon to be re-named Actor Selectors) are used to select Actors in process design, and assign users at runtime...)

Do you have a pattern, connector or a process to share? Upload it to the Bonita Community.
