Perhaps you have some thoughts/suggestions on some existing services to

Jenkins has an REST API and is a somewhat popular OSS project, but also
has commercial offerings.
Hmm. Although clearly there are a number of developer/development
services...commercial and OSS (e.g. github, Jenkins, bugzilla, Eclipse,
etc)...I have mixed feelings about focusing this first tutorial on dev
services. I would like to try to make the point that ECF's Remote
Services is not *only* for developer/development/tooling services...but
rather is a great way to expose all manner of 'cloud services'.
There are lots of technical advantages to using ECF's Remote Services
impl to do this...e.g. use of open standards, all the technical virtues
of OSGi services (service versioning, security, dynamics, service
dependencies, injection frameworks, RSA mgmt, etc., etc), and
crucially: the ability to not have to modify the service/server *at
all*. The integration and/or migration value of this is potentially
very high, I believe.
I would like to try to find a service that is outside of the realm of
dev/developer/dev tooling. Of course, with some community
collaboration we could potentially create several
examples/tutorials...with both dev services and non-dev services. I
would very much like to do all of them, but I can't currently commit to
doing several tutorials myself.
For example of non-dev services: any emerging IoT services?, storage
services?, data analytics services?, comm/messaging services?, etc? that
people would like to see (or have already been) abstracted into a simple
OSGi service (i.e. a java interface)?
Thanks,
