jBPM at DevConf 2015

Maciej reports that he'll be presenting at DevConf 2015 in Brno:

I am happy to announce that a talk and workshop about jBPM 6 has been accepted at DevConf 2015 in Brno.

Talk: jBPM - BPM Swiss knife

During the presentation jBPM will be introduced from the Process Engine & framework perspective.The main goal of the session is to share with the community of developers how they can improve their systems implementations and integrations by using a high level, business oriented methodology that will help to improve the performance of the company. jBPM will help to keep the infrastructural code organized and decoupled from the business knowledge. During the presentation the new APIs and new modules in jBPM version 6 will be introduced for the audience to have a clear spectrum of the tools provided.

Speaker: Maciej Swiderski

Workshop: Get your hands dirty with jBPM 

This is continuation of the presentation of jBPM (jBPM - BPM swiss knife) that introduces to jBPM while this is mainly focused on making use of that knowledge in real cases. On this workshop users will be able to see in action jBPM from both perspectives:

• as a services when jBPM is used as BPM platform
• as embedded when jBPM is used as a framework in custom applications

This workshop is intended to give a quick start with jBPM and help users to decide which approach is most suitable for their needs.

Speakers:

Jiri Svitak

Maciej Swiderski

Radovan Synek

Schedule for the complete conference can be found here. See you there!!!

Free jBPM6 workshop in London, 23rd and 24th of October

I would like to invite everyone to a couple of developer-oriented workshops about the tools in the newest Drools and jBPM releases (6 series). The main idea of these workshops is to introduce developers to the new set of features and tooling provided by the projects.

Michael Anstis and Mauricio Salatino (Salaboy) will be showing how to configure and set up your working environment to work, customize and contribute to these projects.

We will be trying to cover the following topics:

• General Overview about the tools
• Distributions and Modules
• Technology Stack
• How to setup your working environment
• How to extend/customize the tooling

They actually released a teaser example as well, a process used to manage requirements in a sprint:



If you are brave enough and want to know the low level technical details of the tooling, please bring your laptop and be prepared to download the code and compile it in your own environment. We will assist you in the process and give you all the pointers to fix issues or provide new features.

Michael will be in charge of the Drools Side of the platform and Salaboy will be in charge of the BPM side of the tooling. If you are planning to start using these tools, we encourage you to attend to see the new features and get a high level overview about all the new things that are coming with the new version.

The place and the coffee will be sponsored by Plug Tree and the workshops will take place on the 23rd and 24th of October at No. 1 Poultry, London, EC2R 8JR From 3pm to 5pm+.   

Seats are very limited, and because the workshops are for free you will need to get in touch with us (salaboy at redhat dot com) if you are planning to attend. We will probably send you details of what you need to download before coming to the workshop so as not to depend on the local internet connection.

JBoss BRMS (Drools and jBPM) Workshop

 

Have you ever wondered how or why you could use a Business Rules Management System to respond to economic and regulatory changes more quickly? Are you concerned about the effects of embedding key operational functions deep within applications, which make them difficult to change? Do your coders slow down your ability to keep up with changes or requests from your organization's leaders and analysts?

If these issues affect you on a day to day basis as either a coder, architect, or department or agency leader, these presentations and hands-on labs will greatly expand your knowledge about when, where, and how to employ the rules to solve the above-mentioned problems. JBoss Business Rules Management System has many uses in government including eligibility, determination, resource planning, budgeting, and more.

Join us for this complimentary one-day event where we will cover:

• The ecosystem that encompasses the Drools open source project and the JBoss BRMS
• Benefits of rules systems, business workflows, and specific challenges to the government
• The history of rules systems, where they are going, and how it can impact your agency
• Various features of the BRMS via a hands-on demo
• BPMN 2.0 and the future of Business Process Management

Be prepared to work hands-on with the tools, meet the team behind the engine, and have your questions answered. This event will give you unparalleled access to industry recognized leaders in the rules community.
