Final thoughts on CeBIT
Posted by mblock , 08 March 2010 - 01:15 PM
I had a great time at CeBIT (although it was very busy, we barely had time to breath). We had a great BIRT event on Thursday where more than 20 people showed up and I was really impressed on how the German audience was really BIRT savvy.
This was the first time Eclipse was at CeBIT and our booth was really busy. Actually the whole open source hall was almost overrun with people.
Of course many of the people were most impressed by out BIRT Rocks! T-Shirts (see my previous post http://www.birt-exch...-rocks-cebit/).

RCL Master Dashboards are Here...
Posted by dmelcher , 01 March 2010 - 01:15 PM
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 at CeBIT 2010
Posted by mblock , 24 February 2010 - 01:15 PM
I'm happy to say that Actuate and a few other Eclipse Foundation companies will be at CeBIT this year. The show is happening from March 2nd to 6th in Hannover, Germany. If you are in the area, please stop by the Eclipse Island, Booth #D38 in the Open Source Park, Hall 2. You can see who else is in the booth here http://wiki.eclipse.org/CeBIT2010.
As usual, we will be showing off some cool things you can do with BIRT. Actuate is also hosting a day-long session focused exclusively on BIRT during the show. It takes place from 9:30 to 14:30 on Thursday March 4th. Not registered for CeBIT? That's OK because if you register for the BIRT session at http://www.actuate.c...10gerbirtcebit/, we'll give you a free day pass for the whole show.
I had a great time meeting members of the BIRT Community at last month's UK BIRT User Group and last years Eclipse Summit Europe, so I am looking forward to meeting more of you in Hannover.

BIRT-Adobe Contest for the Coolest App Ever...
Posted by dmelcher , 25 January 2010 - 01:15 PM
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...

There's a Community Manager for BIRT Exchange?
Posted by rgans , 21 July 2009 - 01:15 PM
Who is this Ray Gans? Isn't he a Java guy?
It feels like introductions are in order. Actuate created the opportunity for a BIRT Exchange Community Manager and here I am to fill the bill. Okay, it wasn't quite as simple as that, but close enough. My recent background is within the Java Open Source Community. I led the core team at Sun Microsystems responsible for moving Java SE to open source.
Now that I'm with Actuate, my role within the BIRT community will be to build new and cool ways for you to participate, help you have a strong voice in BIRT development, coordinate community events and activities, and in turn, take the community feedback and activity to Actuate.
5 Fun Facts about Ray
To help me acclimate here, I'm interested in your thoughts and opinions on BIRT and the BIRT Community. You can leave feedback for me from my contact info here. I look forward to working with you to continue evolving this community and BIRT to suit your needs.
