The blog move...

In the past month or so we have been going through the Oracle transition over here. As you can imagine there have been several changes in just about everything, like email, calendar, phones, and many new things to learn. In parallel, we are trying to stay focus and get our releases shipped on-time and with a bunch of cool features.

My new emails address is: alex period toussaint at oracle period com (trying to avoid spam) :-)

As many of my fellow BEA colleagues I have decided to get a new blog address. I am not sure how the Oracle world will be handling blogs and I did not have the time to go find out all the details. The focus on the blog will continue to be pretty much the same - that is what my work is focusing on at that time, which is around our BPM product - below is the address:

Blog move is no fun... I have tried my best to move things over the new place. I just noticed some of the images did not quite made it very well. Will have to circle back and make sure I get them all moved ok. Perhaps this is my weekend project. :-)

For a more extreme blogging experiences I started a Twitter account as well. Slowing getting into the micro-blogging/status world. Trying not to be addicted to it, but it is fun and several cool people are getting into it as well - below is my Twitter address if you want to follow me:

Just for fun in case Twitter is down or having problems, which sees to happen often - I hope it will get better... - I have created a fail-over Twitter micro-blog post space. Coming from a middleware focused company with product such as Tuxedo and WebLogic, I have been drinking the scalability and performance kool-aid for some time. This time around I am hoping the Ning infrastructure can be more robust as needed. See my Twitter on Ning below:

In any case, hope to be blogging and micro-blogging more in the months to come.

On a product note AquaLogic BPM Suite 6.1 release, code name Gaturro, is going very well. Our Early Access Program customers are using the product and providing great feedback. Things are on track and looking very good for the release. More details and updates on the product after the July 1st Webcast with Thomas:

Finally, for folks looking for the latest Maintenance Pack for AquaLogic BPM Suite 6.0.4 you can get it form the Oracle E-Delivery web site - I have been getting a lot of questions about this - please go here:

This is about it! Have a great weekend and talk to you soon!

Cheers,
