The Open Solutions Alliance, of which Talend is a founding member, is organizing its first Hack-A-Thon at OSCON in Portland, OR (July 23-27). It will focus on single sign on (SSO).
The Hack-A-Thons are a series of events intended to drive community participation in the OSA’s interoperability efforts. Each event will focus on a specific interoperability issue, and will include a tutorial followed by a directed hands-on-keyboard session to get several open applications to integrate.
A Tuesday tutorial will precede the Hack-A-Thon gatherings on Wednesday and Thursday. Tutorial attendance is desirable but not mandatory. An engineer from an OSA member organization and other OSA members will be available to help attendees. Software on CD-ROM and other media will be available at the tutorial. This will be a good time for participants to provide feedback and requests for enhancement.
You only need a free Exhibit Hall pass to participate into the Hack-A-Thon.
Hope to see you there!

The Open Solutions Alliance that Talend co-founded earlier this year is really making headways! We announced this week four new members: 3 vendors (Ingres, CorraTech and Open IT Works) as well as our first Customer-level member (Redmayne Bentley, a UK brokerage firm). The Customer-level membership was introduced recently to further increase the dialog between vendors and users of open solutions, and I think this is a very positive enhancement to the OSA principles.
Several board members of the OSA have also recently been interviewed by leading publications or invited to deliver presentations at key industry events, further proving the leadership role the OSA is taking in topîcs related to open source interoperability:
- Barry Klawans, podcast interview by Scott Mace, IT Conversations
- Open Source, Open Integration, and the Open Solutions Alliance - Stacey Schneider, for Enterprise Open Source Magazine
- OSA Interoperability Roadmap Takes Priorities from Customers, Vendors - Dominic Sartorio, interviewed by IT Business Edge
Talend is also actively supporting the involvement of the OSA in major open source conventions (such as OSCON in July and LinuxWorld in August).
Welcome on board, Ingres, CorraTech, Open IT Works and Redmayne Bentley! You are joining a very involved and active community!

Today, our “Powered by Talend” partner JasperSoft announced the General Availability of its complete BI suite (see JasperSoft’s Press Release). This is very exciting news for us… and, I believe, for Open Source as well.
In effect this release has a few characteristics that should be noted:
* It illustrates the ability of two open source “pure player” actors to integrate seamlessly… which will hopefully contribute, to some extent, in re-assuring IT professionals on Open Source products’ ability to co-exist and/or interoperate.
* It represents an integrated best-of-breed alternative to those who don’t believe in the “wanna-do-it-all suites”…
Technically speaking, JasperETL Professional Edition comes to market with a few new features that are address some of the enterprise needs like:
* Activity Monitoring Console providing a comprehensive, consolidated graphical view of the data integration jobs execution statistics
* Administrator console to create users define their profile and manage their credentials through a web interface
* Remote repository allowing users within the enterprise to share their jobs, business models, custom routines and or metadata components they may create
Looking back at the our months that went by since we signed the partnership (!) …
You gotta love what the Open Source model can do for you!!
Stay put for more exciting news
