Quick update on project status.
Project website and wiki are created:
http://www.eclipse.org/ofmp/
I have setup several mailing list:
https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/ofmp-dev
https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/ofmp-rcml-dev
Next step:
To open all Contribution Code requires some work on existing code base.
One of the main Eclipse Code Contribution rule is: "ensure IP
Cleanliness".
Eclipse IP Cleanliness means we have to remove existing code base
dependency on some third party libraries and applications.
Good thing is that RCML and the Front Office Gateway (FOG) are libraries
and component that are already mostly "IP clean" in regards to Eclipse.
So RCML and FOG will be open sourced sooner than the core server
code, which is for now is single J2EE deployable entreprise archive.
The main dependency to get rid of within server code is JBoss.
Existing server code base must be migrated:
- from JBoss to OSGi and Spring-OSGi technologies.
- from EJB remoting to some remoting technology (ECF? Spring Remoting?)
First the whole server will be migrated to a single OSGi bundle.
Then this single OSGi bundle will be split into several bundles, one
per service.
When this point will be reached, OFMP will have reached its "1.0"
milestone.
By the way if you're going to EclipseCon 2008, you can have a more in
depth and detailled view on the project:

Some OFMP news.
I've found the 2 mentors, written most of the creation review slides
with help of other OFMP members and sent the docuware to Eclipse EMO.
The Creation Review is scheduled for Wed, 30 Jan 2008 at 1500 UTC.
See http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/ofmp/
Let's cross fingers ;)

Thanks for the feedback.
Well, hope, you find Mentors soon. Those I know and who are involved in
other projects I work with or contribute are mostly more specialized in
the field of tools or development processes. So people with a business
background you might probably find more on the BPM or (Eclipse)
Modeling
side of the community here...
I have not been a committing member long enough in the Eclipse
Foundation yet to be in the Architects Council, so I won't be able to
help you with this personally.
Please also see this Call for Participation I got via email:
I think this might match your project quite well?
InfoWorld's Open Source Business Conference (OSBC) will take place
March
25-26, 2008 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. The Call for Papers
is now open and will close on November 30th. All interested candidates
can submit proposals online at the official event website --
www.OSBC.com (see Call for Papers tab).
Once the CFP closes on November 30th, all submissions will be shared
with the event chair, Matt Asay, and the OSBC advisory board for
consideration. All candidates will be notified of the results by
email.
If you should have any questions, my contact details are below.
