Yesterday evening, I wrote a very simple prototype ipad app to try out some stuf. Basically I’m just displaying some images fullscreen and swiping left/right gives you the next or previous picture. Plenty has been written about the memory/caching difference between using [UIImage imageNames] vs [UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile] (see this and this and many more), but I [...]
Activiti.org
A couple weeks ago I implemented 2 web applications and a REST API for a new open sourced BPM / BPMN 2.0 engine named Activiti. Feel free to visit http://www.activiti.org where you may download the distribution (Apache licensed) and play around with it. The actual BPM engine is just a simple jar file having the benefit of therefore being deployable in virtually any JAVA environment.
Activiti - Safari tutorial
Home The follow tutorial must help you to configure activiti-5.0.alpha4 to work with MySQL 5.x , to let you have a correct setup configuration and a startup execution without any problems. You perhaps could be thinking that right now exists in Activiti’s documentation the instructions for configuration and installation, that’s correct, but after to follow such instructions, I did realize that some steps are missing, some tricks are mandatory and a bug exists. Therefore I am sharing my experience solution to avoid you a headache.

https://svn.codehaus.org/activiti (see http://xircles.codehaus.org/projects/activiti/repo for more links including anonynmous access for non-committers). After an distribution is unzipped (or directly in the distro/target/activiti-version directory), a number of scripts are offered to our users as well. Those scripts can be found in [activiti.home]/setup/build.xml and can optionally use settings from [user.home]/.activiti/build.properties activiti.home , is used in the setup/build.xml.
BPM - Process Developments
There's a very interesting discussion going on at ebizQ: Will case management soon take over BPM? Instead of trying to position all the overloaded acronyms, I'm going to give a concrete picture of where Activiti is now and where we are heading. Activiti now is a native BPMN process engine with nice web based and other tooling around it. We have a strong adoption already in the developer communities.

Taverna
Taverna is an open source and domain-independent Workflow Management System – a suite of tools used to design and execute scientific workflows and aid in silico experimentation . Taverna has been created by the my Grid team and funded through the OMII-UK . The project has guaranteed funding till 2014. The Taverna suite is written in Java and includes the Taverna Engine (used for enacting workflows) that powers both the Taverna Workbench (the desktop client application) and the Taverna Server (which allows remote execution of workflows). Taverna is also available as a Command Line Tool for a quick execution of workflows from a terminal.
ruote
A ruote engine may execute multiple process instances at a time. Processes are instantiated from process definitions written in a Ruby DSL or in XML (or directly as JSON ). Process definitions describe the flow of work among participants . Participants stand for users, groups of users, services, legacy systems, etc. The freenode.net channel is #ruote, feel free to stop by for a chat and a coffee.
