Hong Kong to host Asia's largest Open Source community conference in November this year. The event is expected to be hugely popular due to rapidly growing support for Open Source software in Asia over recent years.

Hong Kong - June 29, 2007 - Two of the leading organizations in the Open Source community, The Apache Software Foundation and the Eclipse Foundation, have announced plans for Asia's largest Open Source community conference - the first of its kind in Hong Kong and China.

The inaugural OS Summit Asia will be held at the Le Meridian hotel in Hong Kong's leading edge Cyberport IT development zone on November 26th - 30th 2007.

With Open Source software rapidly growing in popularity in the region, this community summit, the first joint conference between Apache and Eclipse and the first in Hong Kong and China, is expected to be a vibrant event, encouraging a lively exchange of ideas between all those involved in OSS, including developers, vendors and users.

Winston Damarillo, Co-Executive Producer of the OS Summit said, "As Asia moves to become the largest consumer of Open Source technologies, it is increasingly important that the region is able to experience the Open Source community process in action. We are excited to be able to demonstrate this in the context of the collaboration between Eclipse and Apache. Local communities and associations have been a tremendous help in supporting us and providing the best possible venue to launch this initiative."

According to recent research from Evans Data Corporation (www.evansdata.com), the number of developers using Open Source software in Asia has jumped by 40% over the past three years. The popularity of the Linux operating system has also boomed in recent years, providing the region's developing countries with a free and robust alternative to leading commercial operating systems.

Justin Erenkrantz, President of The Apache Software Foundation, said, "The Apache Software Foundation is delighted to be supporting Open Source communities in emerging countries with the OS Summit Asia 2007 conference. We hope that by showcasing the combined communities behind Eclipse and Apache that we will be able to cultivate a stronger presence for Open Source in the region."

OS Summit Asia will offer unique educational opportunities, with hands-on training, competitively selected general sessions, and a small number of invited speakers that address new technologies, development methods, business and marketing, and licensing issues in Open Source software. Topics featured at the summit include:

ASF-wide projects such as Apache HTTP Server, Jakarta, Tomcat, Axis, Harmony, Maven, Web Services, and SpamAssassin Eclipse-wide projects such as BI and Reporting Tools (BIRT), Web Tools Platform (WTP), Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), Data Tools Platform (DTP), Equinox and the Rich Client Platform (RCP) Programming languages such as Java, Perl, Python, Ruby and PHP Web development technologies and techniques including security, performance tuning, e-commerce and Java EE New technologies and trends such as Web Services and Web 2.0 Open Source projects and activities in Asia, local efforts and case studies

Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation said, "This event is not just about technology: it's about the community and culture and inevitability of Open Source - a movement that creates and maintains a wealth of innovation and ideas. Across Asia interest in Open Source is building. The timing of this event is perfect to harness and build on that interest."

CALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE: 13th July 2007

Members of the Apache and Eclipse Open Source communities are invited to submit session proposals no later than 13th July 2007. All speakers and trainers will be provided with up to 7 nights in the Le Meridian Hotel at Cyberport. To create an experience of an open source community in action we are providing speakers and trainers with the opportunity of staying for the entire week of conference. And the flight allowance for those coming in from a distance is 1300 USD.

Delegate registrations for the conference will open by the end of July.

Apache OpenJPA is a project that implements Object Relational Mapping, and currently implements the standard JCP JSR-220 Java Persistence API (JPA). The latest release passes the JCP TCK for JSR-220 100%, meaning it is fully compliant with the standard.

Starting with a contribution by BEA of the mapping engine and JPA interface from the popular Kodo project, OpenJPA attracted support from a diverse set of contributors, committers, and users from independent individuals and companies, including several Apache projects. The project has learned how to govern itself and has produced two releases while in incubation.

To assist in developing persistence applications OpenJPA works out-of-the-box with popular IDE's such as Eclipse and Netbeans. Additionally, plugin modules are available for the Apache Maven software project management and comprehension tool.

Many projects have adopted OpenJPA to provide the Object Relational Mapping for their needs, including Apache ActiveMQ, BEA Kodo, BEA WebLogic Server, Apache Camel, Apache Geronimo, Apache Ode, Apache OpenEJB, and IBM WebSphere Application Server. The community plans shortly to release version 1.0.0 of OpenJPA, reflecting the maturity and production quality of the code base.

Additionally, OpenJPA has been integrated with numerous other frameworks including Spring Framework, GlassFish, JOnAS Application Server, Sun Java System Application Server.

As a top-level project, Shale will have its own website, mailing lists, repository space, and Project Management Committee. Shale will be an automomous ASF project, rather than a subproject of Apache Struts.

The Shale framework for JavaServer Faces is nearing its first stable release. As a top-level project, it will be easier for Shale to attract new developers and expand its growing community.

The initial set of PMC members and committers for Shale is:

• Craig McClanahan
• James Mitchell
• Greg Reddin
• Sean Schofield
• Wendy Smoak
• Gary VanMatre
• Matthias Wessendorf

Apache Shale has strong ties to both the Struts and MyFaces projects. Most of the Shale PMC members are already involved in both projects, and plan on continuing to remain involved in them, along with Shale.

Apache Shale is a modern web application framework, intended for developers adopting JavaServer Faces as a core technology.

Shale began as a proposal for Struts 2.0, but instead became a subproject, so as to provide a JSF alternative for Struts developers. Recent developments for Struts Action 2 now make it easier for Struts developers to access JSF components from within an "action-based" application.

The initial Shale codebase was donated by Craig McClanahan, who also donated the original Struts codebase.
