Intalio Developer Edition
Friday, October 3rd 2008 | Ismael Ghalimi
Earlier this week, I explained why we care about developers, and mentioned that our engineering team was working on a new product called Intalio Developer Edition. I cannot tell you when it will be released (we announce release dates only for D3-funded projects), but it can’t be too far away, for even our engineers are starting to write about it publicly, and are even showing screenshots. Here comes Matthieu Riou (of Apache ODE fame), on the newly-released Intalio Developer’s Corner blog.
On his post, Matthieu explains why we need processes, why writing BPEL by hand is not such a great idea, and why SimPEL is a much better one. He also writes about the Singleshot task manager interface, which was first introduced publicly by Intalio’s CTO (Assaf Arkin of Labnotes fame) during the first Intalio User Conference [presentation]. It is built in Ruby on Rails, uses RSS for task notification, ICAL for event scheduling, and is fully integrated with Apache ODE. Honestly, it’s a thing of beauty…
Looking at all this, I find myself dreaming about two additional components: a web-based SimPEL editor, and a web-based BPMN designer, both served from an Amazon EC2 server. Someone should really add these to the list of candidate D3 projects managed on the Intalio Community Website. Shao (resident D3 coach), would you mind adding these?

Very visionary. At least for the web-based BPMN designer there is an Open Source solution already, called Oryx, which is a must-try. Anyways, I’m looking forward to the first working release of Singleshot and SimPEL—the latter rocks already, but I’m wondering whether its “Apache ODE SimPEL” or “Intalio SimPEL.”
Tammo,
Oryx looks really good indeed. Are you involved with the project?
SimPEL is an Apache project led by Intalio, as part of ODE. -Ismael
With Oryx? No, but I know a few of them. If you’re interested I can see how I can introduce you. Just drop me a note.
Tammo,
I am very interested. -Ismael
I am just wondering, but what is the best way to learn about BPMS/BPMN/BPEL?
I have worked for a bank for a number of years and have been on the business/product side for too long. I love the concept of business process, and would like to get my hands dirty—even if it’s in my own time.
I figured here would be the best place to ask after everything I have read.
Anthony,
How about you attend an Intalio training session?
If you do it on your free time, I’d love to extend a discounted pass. -Ismael
I would love to. Unfortunately I cannot make the Nov. 4th course in Sydney.
What is the best way to contact you?
Anthony,
We will have many more sessions there.
You can contact me at ghalimi at intalio dot com.
Best regards -Ismael
