RCL Master Dashboards are Here…

The RCL Master Dashboards are a collection of four BIRT templates that allow you to quickly create dashboard content to Track, Compare, Target and Measure. Since they are solutions built upon the Reusable Component Library v2.0.3 and BIRT best practices, you only have to point your data to them, and you’re done.

I think using the RCL Master Dashboards is going to save you a ton of development and testing time. It’s fun just to fold your data into them, and see the dashboard visualizations instantly populate with your data.

Both the RCL Master Dashboards and Reusable Component Library v2.0.3 can be found on the BIRT Exchange Marketplace.


BIRT-Adobe Contest for the Coolest App Ever…

Today, Actuate announced a contest to build the coolest app, solution or component with BIRT and Adobe technologies.

The press release describes the details and prizes of the contest. Some helpful resource pages are provided with integration points between the two technologies.

I think the combination of these two powerful RIA technologies will result in something spectacular. How could it not? Integrating the best of Flex into BIRT, or the best of BIRT into Flex is going to make something zing. The creativity of developers today is off the charts, as well as their skills. I can’t wait to see what happens.

Come showcase your talent, get tons of free marketing opportunities for your creation, and win some money.
Fame, free distribution, and fortune. I think you can handle that…
