Apache Tuscany Tuscany provides a flexible infrastructure that

simplifies development and deployment of SOA-based systems through implementation of Service Component Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Object (SDO).

Tuscany SCA simplifies designing, building, managing and scaling composite applications that can consist of multiple languages in a distributed environment.

Tuscany SCA lightweight runtime can be embedded in, or provisioned to, a number of runtimes such as Websphere, Geronimo and Tomcat. The runtime is easily extensible to further its capability.

Tuscany SDO simplifies handling of data in SOA by providing a uniform interface for handling different forms of data.

Apache Tuscany is implemented in Java and C++ http://incubator.apache.org/tuscany/

PHP version is available at http://pecl.php.net/package/sca_sdo

Standards for SCA and SDO are supported by many industry leaders at OASIS open CSA:

http://www.oasis-opencsa.org/

Tuscany is consumed by IBM products and has been experiencing a growing number of open source adopters who are looking for SOA infrastructure.

OpenOffice.org

OpenOffice.orgOpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source

project. Compatible with all other major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and

distribute.OpenOffice.org grew out of the StarDivision office suite which was bought by Sun who

then contributed it to open sourceOpenOffice uses ODF natively and can also read and write Microsoft Office files

IBM and OpenOffice.org On September 10, 2007, IBM announced that was joining the OpenOffice community

IBM formalized its support for OpenOffice IBM started to contribute with accessibility frameworks and SmartSuite filters

On November 5, 2008, IBM announced a long-term commitment to ODF From 2009, future generations of Symphony will be developed entirely on the ODF 1.2

and OpenOffice 3.0 software code base

Integrating Open Source into your IT strategy Insist on Open Standards

Increases flexibility and responsiveness

Evaluate Open Source and Commercial software options Most customers are using a mixture of open source and private source Don’t build a separate strategy – interoperability / migration considerations are important Balance up-front costs against recurring costs

Evaluate Community and Maturity of Open Source before committing Open, robust communities and broad industry support are important Sustainable business models are critical Healthy ecosystem of ISVs and Business Partners is required

Establish policies for working with Open Source software Educate company teams about OSS before they work with it Implement a management system to review, approve, and track the use of OSS inside the

company, and contributions of company software assets to external OSS projects Review Open Source Licensing - establish a process within your company to help developers

understand the terms of the OSS licenses and the procedures required to comply with them

Be pragmatic Run a proof of concept or pilot to test out viability Make decisions based on both business and technical factors
