Red Hat, here we come!

OK, I couldn't resist quickly blogging about the awesome news that was announced yesterday :) FuseSource is being acquired by Red Hat! For years now the Fuse team has been a small part of a company that was not focused on open source at all. So, we were very different from the rest of the company's goals. Despite this, we've done great things.

Now that we're being acquired by Red Hat, which is the epitome of an open source software company, even greater things will follow. So looking forward to being part of the JBoss team!

Getting Started with Fuse ESB Webinar

Last week FuseSource announced two new enterprise products: Fuse ESB Enterprise and Fuse MQ Enterprise. Both of these are currently in beta so this of course means that you can download and try them out for yourself :)

If you want to learn more about how to get started with the new Fuse ESB Enterprise product, I'm giving a webinar next Tuesday April 24th at 11:00am EDT. You can register with the link below:

Getting Started with Fuse ESB Enterprise 7.0

So, what's covered? I'll be going over all the new stuff that is in this release like Fuse Fabric and FAB (Rob Davies posted some great teasers last week), but also features that Apache ServiceMix users know and love: interactive shell & OSGi container from Apache Karaf, integration flows with Apache Camel, web services with Apache CXF, and reliable messaging with Apache ActiveMQ. Basically everything you need to get started in your integration projects.

Hope to see you (virtually) there!

CamelOne 2012 CFP is Open

Last year's CamelOne event went so well that FuseSource is doing another one this year. Awesome news because CamelOne 2011 was a blast! :) IMO smaller, more focused conferences like CamelOne are more beneficial than the big "all-inclusive" conferences. It is still very early in the planning so speaking slots are still available. Registration details are on the CamelOne 2012 site.

Cheers to another win for the Apache Camel community!
