Dear community,

This was a busy week for us: 3 videos, 1 written tutorial, some news from the US and our first winner of a BonitaSoft mug! and on the forum: ~140 posts and some interesting discussions.

The videos were inspired from the community forum discussions:

Thanks, guys. Keep them coming.

Miguel returned from the US with some good news about collaboration with BonitaSoft.

Live from R&D

MessageTest This week, Bonita Open Solution enters in a new era of communication. We are now able to send messages between processes. This useful feature has been anticipated for a long time. It allows you to exchange data between two independent processes.

Even more a good news, the R&D team also implemented timer events. I really appreciate this feature, because with the last release of Bonita (aka v4) it was very difficult to do a simple wait action.

What other useful suggestions do you have to improve Bonita?
