Recently we announced http://fox.camunda.com/ and I already talked about it on a couple of conferences or similar occasions. Now I had the honor to write on infoQ about it and the experiences we made so far. Basically I tried to create a plot in the various things we do there at the moment and give a better impression on where we are heading. Hopefully that makes it easier for you to catch my ideas, easier than searching through our blog and presentations Since today you can find the article online here:

Enjoy! I am curious about feedback… And stay tuned, we plan to release something soon.

Stephen White has already blogged about it: BPMN 2.0 is finished, approved by OMG architecture board and will be published soon. For camunda it was mainly Falko Menge who represented us in the FTF, and he did a very good job (thanks Falko!). Falko and me also wrote a good part of the “BPMN 2.0 by Example”-Document (many thanks to Ivana Trockovitch, Denis Gagné and the other authors!), that should work as a tutorial for understanding the basic principles of BPMN. Because the whole package is not published officially yet, I just want to blog one of the two chapters we wrote that I consider interesting for people who want to get from “business-friendly simple diagrams” to “directly executable XML”.

At some points I will also add some comments from our project experiences that of course could not make it into the official OMG document.
