Behind the scenes with Bonita (7-13 Mar 2011)

Dear community,

Bonita Open Solution is one of the three finalists competing for the Eclipse Community Awards 2011: Best Modeling Tool. [Yep, they spelled our name wrong. :frowning: ] But it’s great that we’ve been nominated – way to go Studio developer team.

And to think it was only 10 years ago that Miguel (CEO at BonitaSoft) created the first lines of Bonita code with charoy at INRIA…

BonitaSoft the company has grown fast. We’ve added many new folks so quickly, for a few months we were hotdesking. Our Services guys especially – they are on travel so often –were taking turns at the same workstations…

So last week we spent some time assembling and setting up new desks, chairs, cabinets, and whatnot.

After about an hour of controlled chaos, things settled down and we’re back to work.

See what we’ve been up to now that we’re back on the job. Developer Baptiste Mesta will be presenting at Zenika in Paris on 31 March, so sign up and find out what’s new.

The Latest from R&D

Wouldn’t it be useful to be able to search for specific components in a process: a variable, an actor selector, a form...

Yes, that’ coming in BOS 5.5 – the overview will give you both the graphic and hierarchical (and searchable) representation of a process. Stay tuned.
