38. Rationale Create a middleware open source platform With OW2 projects, we can create the largest and best open source middleware platform Similar initiatives already exist in the open source landscape JBoss JEMS, based on Jboss projects LogicBlaze Fuse, based on Apache projects Some ObjectWeb members work separately to create such a platform The opportunity Join strengths to create a reference platform Promote interoperability, consistency and synergies between OW2 projects Members remain free to extend the platform to fit their own business needs Timeline Step One: issue a white paper by September 2007 Step Two: release a first milestone (beta) by January 2008 The OW2 Reference Platform 1/2
