With that headline, I clearly have our tradeshow booth graphics on my mind as I sit down to write this. The headline also reminds me of that old saying “There’s a fine line between clever and stupid” and I believe I may have strayed over – but it’s what came to mind first, so I’m sticking with it.
Last Monday we launched our Celtix family of open source distributed SOA infrastructure. The past month, and in particular the past couple of weeks, have been pretty busy around here, but I think in the end it was well worth it. Monday’s launch of Celtix Enterprise, Celtix Advanced Service Engine and Celtix Advanced Messaging was a major milestone in the open source programs and initiatives IONA began more than 18 months ago. Today, we can not only say that IONA is an active participant in the open source communities developing SOA infrastructure, but also that we give customers an open source option for SOA backed by the company that has been doing distributed computing successfully for more than 15 years.
We’ve had some pretty good coverage from the launch, some of which I’ve linked to if you’d like to take a look. If you’re at all interested in open source and SOA, you should take a minute to check us out and maybe even download some code.
Now that the launch is over, I'll hopefully have a little more time to blog a little more regularly. Here's hoping.
