Behind the Scenes with Bonita #15 (2 Aug 2010 -> 8 Aug 2010 )

Dear community,

It’s been a while since we posted Behind the Scenes. (Did you miss us while we were gone?) But we are back, and we are amazed as we look at what has been happening with the Bonita community. Let’s take a quick look back, and then a look forward.

But first, the present! The Process Challenge is on! It’s simple. Share your best processes with the Bonita community in the Contributions section on www.bonitasoft.org. You, the community, will rate them. When your feedback indicates the top contributions, we’ll ask a jury of BPM experts to evaluate the final top ten and decide on the winners.

Besides our admiration and respect, the contributor of the top scoring process gets an iPad. And there are nine more prizes after that…

OK let’s look back a bit.

Contributions

We offer a tip of our chapeau to the members of the Bonita community who have developed and shared some of the many extensions now available:

The latest from R&D

And looking both backward and forward: the R&D team has recently completed the development of the multitenancy feature: Bonita Open Solution gets SaaS–sy. With BOS deployed via the web, multiple clients will be able access the functionality of BOS as an on-demand service, while their data remains securely separate. Will be available in BOS 5.3!
