Nach den Erfolgen der Eclipse Banking Days veranstaltet WW nun eine Fachkonferenz zu Open Source-basierten Lösungen für Versicherungen. Der technologische Schwerpunkt liegt auf Eclipse, allerdings richtet sich die Veranstaltung primär an IT-Entscheider aus Versicherungen und IT-Dienstleistern für Versicherungen. Redner sind u.a. Mike Milinkovich, Excutive Director der Eclipse Foundation sowie Prof. Dr. Helten, Präsident des Bayerischen Finanz Zentrums
(-> Agenda).
Die Resonanz auf die ersten Ankündigungen ist hervorragend, so dass ich mich auf einen gut besuchten Tag mit spannenden Vorträgen und Gesprächen am Rand freue.

itemis, ProSyst and SOPERA join the Eclipse Training Alliance
As an international expert network, the Eclipse Training Alliance pools the extensive Eclipse knowledge of its associate companies. With itemis, ProSyst and SOPERA as new partners the Eclipse Training Alliance now offers a total of 15 classes. itemis, one of Germany’s leading companies in the field of model-driven software development, offers classes on Eclipse Modeling (EMF, GMF) and model-driven development. OSGi and Java pioneer ProSyst offers embedded and enterprise OSGi training courses as well as Eclipse eRCP. At Eclipse Con 2009 ProSyst received two Eclipse Community Awards for their Equinox applications. A variety of classes on service oriented architectures (SOA) is offered by SOPERA, winner of the 2009 Open Source Business Award.
The Eclipse Training Alliance launched a new website which makes it easier to navigate through this wider choice of classes.

with Neil Bartlett as a founding partner of the upcoming London office.
Additional competence at WW (WeigleWilczek): We continue our successful development and have now complemented our team with the addition of Neil Bartlett, an internationally recognised OSGi expert and author of the upcoming book “OSGi in Practice”.
Neil Bartlett will establish the new WW UK office which will offer consulting, coaching and projects for the Eclipse Rich Client Platform and OSGi. WW offers professional Eclipse application support as one of the first companies in the world to do so. WW’s latest initiative is to form an Eclipse project for the banking industry – the Eclipse Financial Platform Project.

If you are interested in Spring DM, OSGi, dynamic servers with Eclipse or just in Vodka, then you might want to visit our Eclipse Demo Camp on November 21st in Ludwigsburg. This Demo Camp which we organize with our friends form itemis will be held in the fancy MTV Campus, very close to Eclipse Summit.
More information can be found in the Eclipse Wiki.

Eclipse Banking Day, by the way the first event which brought the Eclipse Community together with one specific industry, was a huge success with around 60 people! All presentations are on the agenda page of the EBD website, a small photo gallery is on flickr.
A special “thank you”? goes to Ralph Müller and the Eclipse Foundation who basically made the Eclipse Banking Day possible.
Eclipse Banking Day has shown a lot of interesting areas for collaboration between banks. Mike Milinkovich (Eclipse Foundation) predicted “In 3 years Banks are collaborating on a common platform to improve their IT agility and reduce cost”? (Mikes presentation is here). There have been already promising signals by some banks at the Banking Bof at Eclipse Con ‘08 that they have Eclipse based software for which they consider open collaboration. At Eclipse Banking Day more potential starting-points for collaboration appeared: Mr. Oppliger (Schweizer PostFinance) has presented a GUI framework which contains a lot of very promising features which are not specific to one bank (here is Mr. Oppligers presentation). Mr. Reichenbach and Dr. Gille presented an order management system which is used at Degussa Bank and contained several reusable basic components (Mr. Reichenbachs presentation is here). Other representatives from banks showed concrete interest in open protocol implementations like FIX or SWIFT, bank-specific tools and some funcional modules. One interesting example for a functional module is the valuation of assets inside a fund for financial statements. This example explains where collaboration makes sense for banks:
- Competition neutrality: It does not allow competitive advantages or disadvantages
- Process similarity: The process should be quite similar in several banks
There are several other factors which impact the potential to collaborate, but these two seem to be most important. Our relatively young Eclipse project Open Financial Markets Platform offers these attempts for collaboration a technical home with all the benefits of an Eclipse project, e.g. a solid management of intellectual properties.
Collaboration between banks might start on the level of specific projects. But with increasing collaboration a central body to collect requirements and help steering technical roadmaps will be useful. This will bring interested parties together to foster collaboration and will avoid wasting time and money for double work. The Banking Industry Working Group which is being created by the Eclipse Foundation seems perfect for that.
In the meantime Ralph Müller and I are collecting proposals for collaborative development and bring interested parties together.

The Open Financial Markets Platform (OFMP), WeigleWilczek’s Eclipse project for the banking industry, now provides first modules which can be found in the project cvs. There are several other companies from the Eclipse eco system providing interesting technologies for banks, e.g. compeople, Actuate and Innovations. We thought this is worth an exclusive information day and came up with the Eclipse Banking Day.
The Eclipse Banking Day connects the financial community to the Eclipse eco system. Banking practitioners and Eclipse committers introduce ways to leverage the Eclipse technology within modern banking and provide you with an accessible insight into applications, tools, frameworks and modules specifically designed for banks. All of the solutions presented on the Eclipse Banking Day were exclusively built on Eclipse technolgy backed by one of the world’s largest and most professional open source initiatives.
There will be talks about
- the Eclipse Foundation by Mike Milinkovich, Executive Director of the Eclipse Foundation
- a GUI framework for rich clients by Rudolf Oppliger, Head of GUI Framework at Schweizer PostFinance
- order management in retail banking by Martin Reichenbach, Head of Customer Service at Degussa Bank and Dr. Marc Gille, SunGard
- process management for mortgage insurance by Robert Emsbach, SunGard
- Eclipse Riena by Jürgen Wiesmaier and Christian Glanz, Directors of compeople
- a credit risk rating platform by Christopher Hansert, Innovations
- the Rich Ajax Platform by Jochen Krause, Director of Innoopract
- benefits of OSGi for enterprise systems by Heiko Seeberger
- and I will talk about the Open Financial Markets Platform.

Eclipse Con ‘08 has been a great success for the Open Financial Market Platform (OFMP) as well as for the Eclipse Training Alliance. To be honest, I was surprised how much we achieved. Mike Milinkovich highlighted OFMP as an interesting project on the first day of the conference. And just on time for Eclipse Con, Aleksey committed the Rich Client Markup Language RCML as the initial part to OFMP. The Front Office Gateway is supposed to follow soon. Talks at our booth on OFMP showed that surprisingly many financial institutes are already aware of OFMP. On Wednesday, we had the BOF on collaboration in the banking industry together with Ian Skerrett and we were both stunned by around 15 people showing up (at 19.30). There is interst in trying collaboration between banks and we will work on ways to do that.
We also had a lot of interest in the Eclipse Training Alliance. Surprisingly there were not only new potential partners visiting our booth but also US based potential customers.
Our booth at Eclipse Con has proven to be too small for our big displays but we ended up with the certain extra attention.

Last fall we (WeigleWilczek aka the Eclipse Training Alliance) had a very successful RCP Training series in cooperation with the Eclipse Foundation. So we decided together with Ian Skerrett, Lynn Gayowski and other foundation members to repeat this good event. This year we will reach even more cities in Europe and the US (a total of 13 cities) and again we will offer our RCP course at greatly reduced prices. If you register before March 31 you will recieve an additional early birds discount.
The 4-day-classes aim on developers building Eclipse RCP applications and will help to understand the core RCP concepts and Eclipse plug-in architecture, SWT, JFace and other RCP components.
For more details and registration see www.eclipse-training.net
