WHAT: The following presentations will be given at JAX 2010

From Tasks to Tweets: Social Collaboration for Software Developers 
Mik Kersten (May 5, 2010 – 4:15 p.m. – 5:15 p.m.)
Developers are increasingly relying on social technologies to ensure projects are completed. Many software developers are concerned that constant real-time communication will bring productivity to a halt. In this presentation, Kersten will share how new technologies and practices are forming in order to help organizations harness social collaboration as part of an Agile process and integrated tool set. This talk will demonstrate how developers can use the latest social tools alongside established Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) technologies to promote productivity instead of procrastination.

Mylyn 3.4: from Stack Trace to Scrum
Mik Kersten (May 5, 2010 – 10:15 a.m. – 11:15 a.m.)
The rapid adoption of Mylyn has made next big evolution of the IDE clear. Stories and tasks are more central than sourcecode, focus is more important than features, and integration with the Agile workflow is the biggest productivity boost since code completion. During this presentation, Kersten will review how new features in the latest Mylyn release and new integrations can increase the productivity of the entire Agile software development team.

Bringing easy Extension Install to your RCP Applications
Steffen Pingel (May 4, 2010 – 4:45 p.m. – 5:15 p.m.)
Eclipse P2 is a powerful tool for managing plug-ins but lacks a UI that matches the ease of use of the Firefox extension installer which has helped to perpetuate the browsers success. In this talk, Pingel will share his experience with how to bring the Firefox install experience to RCP applications and Eclipse-based tools to the Mylyn project which has developed a reusable component on top of P2 that provides a simplified installer.

FREEWAVE INTRODUCES NEXT GENERATION LICENSE-FREE SPREAD SPECTRUM RADIO FOR LONG-RANGE WIRELESS DATA COMMUNICATION

New FGR2-PE combines both serial and Ethernet wireless connectivity for key Smart Grid applications such as distribution automation

BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 16, 2010 — FreeWave Technologies, (http://www.freewave.com), manufacturer of the most reliable, high-performance spread spectrum and licensed radios for critical data transmission, today announced the release of the new FGR2-PE, a data radio ideal for Smart Grid and renewable energy, that offers industrial serial and Ethernet wireless connectivity using license-free spread spectrum for data communication over long distances. In addition, the FGR2-PE is well suited for similar SCADA applications in other vertical markets such as oil and gas or water/wastewater.
The FGR2-PE is compatible with other FreeWave FGR plus family radios and offers users a second, switched Ethernet port as well as two serial ports to meet the demands of customers’ wireless automation requirements. The future-proof combination of two serial ports and two switched Ethernet ports offers customers the ability to transition from serial to Ethernet data communication without having to replace their wireless communication hardware down the road, or operate both serial and Ethernet communication independently and simultaneously on the same platform. This cost-effective flexibility of the FGR2-PE product also reduces the need for additional hardware.

“The FGR2-PE is an ideal platform for the wireless transmission of critical data and offers the same proven reliability and quality that our customers have come to know and expect in our radios,” said Matthias van Doorn, product manager Ethernet and licensed radio systems at FreeWave. “In particular, our utility customers appreciate its industry-leading RF performance as well as the versatility and flexibility of the new FGR2-PE to support distribution automation, alternative energy applications like wind and solar power, and many other telemetry and SCADA applications within the Smart Grid.”
 Additional key benefits of the FGR2-PE include:

  • Improved noise rejection and other radio performance enhancements to help maintain reliable wireless serial or Ethernet communication even over long distances or in congested RF environments.
  • An industrial-grade, small and rugged enclosure that offers mounting and installation versatility, including a DIN rail mounting option, with all connectors conveniently located on one side of the enclosure.
  • Integrated security options (e.g. AES encryption) and proprietary spread spectrum technology so customers can rely on the FGR2-PE to provide secure wireless data communication links to operate mission-critical network functions.

The FGR2-PE radios are available now. Additional information is available online at http://www.freewave.com/products/product-274.html or by contacting FreeWave at 866-923-9948.

About FreeWave Technologies
Founded in 1993, FreeWave Technologies manufactures the most reliable, high performing, lowest power consumption, spread spectrum and licensed radios for mission-critical data transmission. Through engineering excellence and a relentless commitment to best-in-class manufacturing, FreeWave customers enjoy superior radio up-time, range and the lowest cost of ownership available.

THOUGHTWORKS STUDIOS EXPANDS OPERATIONS IN U.K. WITH NEW CUSTOMERS, EXECUTIVE SUPPORT AND ADAPTIVE ALM SOLUTION

As adoption of Agile software development methodologies continue to increase throughout the U.K. and Europe, ThoughtWorks Studios continues to grow

SAN FRANCISCO AND LONDON, Oct. 28, 2009 – ThoughtWorks Studios, a global leader in Agile ALM tools and training, today announced its continued expansion of operations within the United Kingdom (U.K.) with a growing customer base of enterprise customers, the addition of support and executive staff in its London office and the deployment of its recently launched Adaptive ALMTM into key client accounts. Most notably, the company’s Agile ALM solutions have been deployed by leading corporate accounts, including Rosetta Stone, BBC, Barclays and thetrainline.com, and Adrian Jones has joined the U.K. team as vice president of sales Europe.

“As organizations look to improve IT efficiencies and performance, the increasing use of Agile development methodologies in the U.K. has led to strong customer demand for tools that help manage and automate the entire software development process,” said Cyndi Mitchell, ThoughtWorks Studios’ managing director, who also is based in London. “With the recent launch of our Adaptive ALM solution and accelerating customer demand, we continue to expand our operations here and look forward to helping more U.K.-based organizations succeed in building better software faster.”

Recent developments within the U.K. include:

Customer growth: ThoughtWorks Studios has seen strong demand and customer growth for its Agile ALM tools throughout the U.K. A prime example is thetrainline.com, the leading U.K. rail ticket retailer. This customer used ThoughtWorks Studios Adaptive ALM solution to help manage its major Agile development initiative that included more than 200 developers and required the re-architecting of a large legacy code base that was built up over multiple years. Using Mingle® as the Agile project management hub, thetrainline.com effectively tracked and managed the status and progress of multiple teams working on highly complex applications. ThoughtWorks Studios’ Cruise® tool helped automate the entire software build and deployment process. The end result is a highly efficient online ticketing system that now contains 46 percent less page views and has trimmed the time to purchase a ticket by almost 60 percent.

Adaptive ALMTM launch: ThoughtWorks Studios has been busy rolling out its new Adaptive ALM solution to existing and new customers throughout the U.K. It is the only fully-automated Agile ALM solution on the market that supports all aspects of a software development and delivery lifecycle, from requirements definition and portfolio management to test automation, quality assurance and release management.

Prior experience includes sales leadership positions with Oracle, Versant and Sleepycat Software, a company whose European operation he co-founded in 2004.

“Agile software development methods are helping organizations across the U.K. and Europe achieve strategic business goals and improve customer satisfaction quicker and more effectively,” said Jones. “I am thrilled to join ThoughtWorks Studios and to help customers around the globe transform their IT delivery capability through integrated Agile ALM techniques and tools.”
