Over on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN), OTN Editor-in-Chief Justin Kestelyn expressed his excitement about the confluence of the BEA and Oracle developer communities in his post Sunrise: The BEA and Oracle Developer Communities Come Together. Justin notes that Dev2Dev and Arch2Arch are actually quite similar to OTN in terms of philosophy/macro-approach, events, Website information architecture, and community tools.
Justin has set up a new group on Oracle Mix, titled BEA Developers & Architects, with the purpose of answering questions, getting feedback, etc., about the process of the bringing the communities together. All BEA users are encouraged to join. To do so, get yourself an Oracle Technology Network account, go to the BEA Developers & Architects site, and click "Join this group."
As I mentioned last week, the third annual Dev2Dev Reader Survey is coming up soon. The survey questions have been defined, and the survey web site is now being set up. I'll let you know as soon as the survey goes live.
Here's a summary of other Dev2Dev happenings.
 Our currently featured Dev2Dev Articles include Sudhansu Pati's Building Enterprise RIA Using Flex and WebLogic Server. In this article, Sudhansu talks about and demonstrates how to build enterprise-grade rich internet applications (RIA) using WebLogic Server and Adobe's Flex. The tutorials are detailed, decribing the steps right down to the button clicks. An excellent study if you'd like to get started with WebLogic and Flex.
 We're also featuring SPECjms2007: A Novel Benchmark and Performance Analysis Framework for Message-Oriented Middleware, by Samuel Kounev and Kai Sachs. In this article, Samuel and Kai talk about the details and merits of the SPECjms2007 message-oriented middleware (MOM) industry-standard benchmark.
Do take a look, if you haven't done so already. Or, browse our complete Dev2Dev articles archive.
In BEA Education Services News, note that the Training on new BEA AquaLogic Platform course is still available. The new course supports the AquaLogic 3.0 platform. For information about all BEA Education opportunities, visit the BEA Education Services site.
As recently reported, CodeShare now offers the capability for submitted code to be indexed and made searchable by Krugle, the code search engine. If you submit your CodeShare code to Krugle, it will be joining code from major sources such as IBM's DeveloperWorks, Java.net, SourceForge.net, and the Yahoo! Developer Network.
For details, see the announcement article and Jim Wright's blog on submitting CodeShare code to Krugle. To learn about submitting your Dev2Dev code samples and projects for inclusion in Krugle, visit the CodeShare Code Submission Portal site.
In the Dev2Dev Blogs, Alex Toussaint talked about developments related to AquaLogic BPM Suite 6.1 in his posts AquaLogic BPM Suite 6.1 & Outlook 2007 and AquaLogic BPM Suite 6.1 & AquaLogic User Interaction 6.5. Both posts include instructive screenshots, giving you an better view of what you'll see on the AquaLogic panel and in Outlook when you expose ALBPM Workspace 6.1 as an RSS feed. Alex also hopes to see you at BEA.Participate.08 next week in Chicago, Illinois.
Speaking of BEA.Participate.08, Chris Bucchere posted Announcing the Launch of the Social Applications for BEA Participate.08, in which he describes the "grand social experiment" that is being implemented for registered attendees. The technology behind this experiment is BEA ALI 6.5 backed by a host of Ruby on Rails applications.
David Garrison presented an example of the benefits of bringing together entitlements management tools, like AquaLogic Enterprise Security (ALES), with business process management tools, like AquaLogic Business Process Management (ALBPM), in his post Entitlements and Business Process Management: What's Possible?
In two other interesting recent posts, Erik Kayser asked What is the future of MobileTV?, and Bill Benac provided instruction on how to Validate Your Work During Upgrades.
We have a new webinar in the Dev2Dev Media Center this week: you can replay Synapse and the Path to Information Nirvana, which took place on Tuesday, May 6.
Here are our currently featured Dev2Dev Media Center events:
In the Event Calendar take note of these upcoming events:
The current Poll asks "Have you used BEA Guardian?" Please participate by voting on the Dev2Dev home page.
The previous poll asked "Have you heard about the Service Component Architecture (SCA)." 8% (12 votes) are actually using SCA, 32% (48) have heard about it, but the majority of folk 60% (89) have not. Visit the Service Component Architecture page to find out more about SCA.
If you've got an idea for a future poll, please send your idea to me by posting a comment below.
The most recent Security Advisories and Notifications entry is BEA08-201.00, a high-threat, high-severity advisory regarding multiple security vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment. The advisory affects BEA JRockit R27.5.0 and prior.
That's it for today. Feel free to comment and send me any suggestions you may have.
