JBoss jBPM, the future is now for all your Business Processes
A Business Process Management System (BPMS) offers you the capabilities to better manage and streamline your business processes.
JBoss jBPM continues its vision in this area by offering a lightweight process engine for executing business processes, combined with the necessary services and tooling to support business processes in their entire lifecycles. This allows not only developers but also business users to manage your business processes more efficiently.

JBoss AS7 Hackathon
August JBUG is devoted to JBoss 7. Again! There’s lots of hype, tweets, blogs and videos but is it any good? We aim to find out by hosting a hackathon to get to grips with JBoss 7.
How?
The idea is simple: we get a bunch of people in a room, fire up a bunch of EC2 instances and we try out JBoss 7 together.
- No Presentations
- No Marketing
- No Vendor Hype
- No Agenda
Just JBoss 7, Amazon, your laptop and you. And probably a lot of head scratching! MC’d by an experienced JBoss consultant we will get JBoss 7 running and see what it can do.
The number of places for this event is limited so register now (the form is below) to secure your place!
Some things we might try (although it’s up to you):
- Get it running
- Mess with some JEE6 features
- Build a big cluster
- Try out the new Domain mode and run server’s on each other’s laptops
- See if it’s as fast as it claims to be
- Or just eat pizza and drink beer and laugh at the chaos
The possibilities are endless!
When?
Tuesday, 30th August, 2011
Event starts at 5pm and will end around 7-8pm with some pizza, beers and networking.
