After the first success at Boston, JUDCon, the conference for and by JBoss users and developers, is coming to Berlin on October 7-8. This time, there is a special track on Workflow and BPM on day 1. So hopefully there will be a lot of interesting presentations on Drools Flow / jBPM. The call for papers is still open (until September 13), so hurry is you want to submit a session. So if you are or want to become part of the community, don't hesitate!

I'll be giving a presentation on jBPM5 and will be available if you want to talk or even dive into code. Ideal chance to talk to core or other community developers.
Hope to see you all there.

Proposal for jBPM5 roadmap
A while ago, we presented a request for comments on jBPM5, where we asked you, our community, to provide feedback on the vision, architecture and key features for (the next version of) the jBPM project. We would like to thank anyone who participated in the discussion and provided feedback or suggested additional requirements.
Based on these requirements we would like to present a proposal for what we would like to include in the first release of jBPM5. While we have not yet pinpointed an exact date for this release (but we will do this asap, stay tuned), we are planning to release this near the end of the year (preferably a few months before even). As many people have requested, this release will focus on delivering a solid core and simple tooling, while additional (more advanced) features will be rolled out in the subsequent releases.
The key features of this release include:
Feedback on the roadmap is welcome on the jbpm-dev@lists.jboss.org mailing list.
By the way, don't fear that we're only getting started now. A lot has been implemented already, building on top of jBPM4 and Drools Flow. Don't worry, we're not building from scratch. And if you'd like to help a hand, you're more than welcome to drop a note on the mailing list as well.

The key features of this release include:
- Native BPMN2 execution
- Highly configurable, embeddable, lightweight process engine using a generic process engine (PVM) underneath
- Domain-specific processes and rule / event integration
- Independent, human tasks service (using WS-HT)
- Eclipse and web tooling for things like process creation, deployment, management, reporting and human tasks.
- Migration capabilities from jBPM 3 and 4

JBoss User Group Belgium
I'll be doing a one-hour presentation "Looking forward to the future of (j)BPM" on the next JBoss User Group Belgium next week (Thursday, 3rd of June). Things are rapidly changing nowadays, so if you're in the vicinity and might be interested in we're doing regarding BPM in general, and jBPM5 in particular, don't hesitate to register as the seats are limited!
