Our company would b= e interested in participating to the Ode project through a donation of the PX= E BPEL 2.0 engine and the dedication of development resources to the project. The PXE BPEL 2.0 engine is currently licensed under the CPL open source license, and has been integrated into third-party products/projects such as Sun's Java Studio Enterprise and LogicBlaze's ServiceMix. We understand that multiple implementations of BPEL might be contributed to the project, and are willing to support the one that will be selected by th= e Ode community. We believe that Apache is the right community for the development of a solid implementation of the latest BPEL specification, and our goal is to participate to this project as actively as we can, so that the community at large could benefit from it. Ideally, we would like to contribute to the development of a BPEL engine that could be deployed on to= p of any J2EE application server, integrated with any ESB, and support the most current version of the BPEL specification. Alongside our donation of the PXE BPEL 2.0 engine, we are also willing to contribute an AJAX-powered management console for the BPEL engine and an XForms-based workflow engine that implements the concepts of the BPEL4Peopl= e proposal from IBM and SAP, without relying on any extension of the BPEL specification. We believe that the BPEL management console should become part of the Ode project, while the BPEL4People workflow engine could either become part of the Ode project, or be developed through a separate project. Additionally, the following people would participate to the project: * Assaf Arkin [arkin@intalio.com], co-author of the BPEL specification * Alex Boisvert [boisvert@intalio.com], PXE Developer * Jacques-Alexandre Gerber [gerber@intalio.com], BPEL4People Developer * Holger Hoffstaette [holger@wizards.de], PXE Developer * Iwan Memruk [imemruk@lohika.odessa.ua], BPEL4People Developer * Maciej Szefler [mbs@intalio.com], PXE Chief Architect * Matthieu Riou [matthieu.riou@gmail.com], Agila + PXE Developer * Nazar Stasiv [nstasiv@lohika.lviv.ua] Console developer * Olexandr Zakordonskyy [ozak@lohika.lviv.ua], PXE & Console developer * Oleg Zenzin [ozenzin@lohika.odessa.ua], BPEL4People Developer Beyond our open source work on PXE, Intalio has developed a good experience with Open Source projects in general and the Apache community in particular= . For example, we were the original developers for OpenEJB, which served as one of the building blocks for Geronimo. We also developed the original codebase for Slide and donated OpenXML to the Xerces project, alongside IBM's donation of XML4J. We also developed the Castor, OpenJMS and OpenORB projects under Apache license. These projects are now being developed by communities such as CodeHaus or ObjectWeb. Today, we wish to share our experience and resources with the Apache community, and look forward to a very successful and exciting project.
