Yesterday, 30th of october 2008, we held a conf call to talk about the authentication scenarios that had been identified after the meeting at Sevilla on 15 th of september. We discussed the proposed scenarios, agreed the final scenarios and we also defined the possible solutions for the different scenarios. We are writing the conclussions in the wiki
Welcome to EzForge Project
The increase of the open source software development and the participation of the companies as active members in the communities, have stated the need of collaborative development tools integrating resources located in several sources as well as new applications providing the kind of management required by the companies.
EzForge project tackles the definition, development and implementation of a resource integration architecture based on emergent Web 2.0 technologies, which solves the problems of the existing forges. The model of the services provided by a forge using REST resources will allow an easier and more flexible integration of heterogeneous tools. By the other side, the use of light clients and mash-up will provide the users with an interface easy to customize according to their needs, allowing the access to different forges and tools from the same interface, which will provide a whole management of all the projects which the user has joined to, independing on the repositories where those projects are located.
EzForge will be based on the EzWeb mash-up platform, which is being also developed in the MORFEO Open Source Community.
We are making a debian package containing the forge in order to make easier its installation. Moreover, we are also preparing a live CD to allow to try the forge without installing it, and be able to install it later using the CD if wanted
The first release of the forge was presented during the Open Source World Conference that was held at Málaga on 20th-21th-22th october.
This release source code is available in the EzForge project subversion repository https://svn.forge.morfeo-project.org/svn/ezforge/releases/EzForge_v1.0/
Moreover, there is a public installation of the forge supported by MORFEO Open Source Community, where anyone may host one project of the Community in order to try its new forge and get profit of its advantages.
As we announced some days ago, the technology transference meeting from EzForge to the rest of Vulcano proyect, was held yesterday. You can find the documentation used during the meeting in the downloads section of this web page. You can also find some archives indicated in the documentation, which were used during the session, in the URL http://ezforge.morfeo-project.org/tutorial/
By the other side, regarding the EzWeb mashup platform, used to develop the EzForge interface, you can find useful documentation in the wiki of that proyect: http://forge.morfeo-project.org/wiki/index.php/Guias_y_Manuales. By the time being, this documentation is available just in Spanish, but in a short future will be also in English.
A technology transference meeting is going to be held in Telefónica I+D on February 12th, in order to spread information about the different technologies used in EzForge. This session aims to share every aspect concerning the EzForge development with all the Vulcano project partners (EzForge is being developed within the framework of the 4th work package of the Vulcano project), in order to make easier the integration of the tools developed in the other Vulcano work packages.
