JAM Circle is a Kanban Application Platform using Card(like Sticky note) and Lane(Pane) or Icon.
JAM Circle is supported to connect XMPP service(like GTalk) and send card data to other user. Sometimes you use mail to ask to do your Task to someone.You can use JAM Circle to these situations.
JAM Circle is defined Action using scripting language,JRuby or JavaScript(using Rhino). You can define action when you open board,and put card to lane(icon),remove card from lane(icon). For example ,if you want to plan some tasks in BTS(like Bugzilla,or Trac,or Redmine... these has API to public services.) you define script to get some tickets from BTS on board script, and you define script to change the priority ,due on lane script.
Mit Unterstützung des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) erarbeitet eine gemeinsame Initiative von Universitäten und Unternehmen einen neuartigen Ansatz für den systematischen Aufbau webbasierter Anwendungen. Ziel ist es, Methoden und Technologien für die hocheffiziente Entwicklung komplexer, dynamischer Web-Applikationen bereitzustellen.
Das auf einen Zeitraum von drei Jahren ausgelegte Forschungsvorhaben WISE - Web Information and Service Engineering ist ein Projekt der Initiative „Software Engineering 2006“, mit der das BMBF die technologische Wettbewerbsfähigkeit auf dem Gebiet der Software-Entwicklung erhalten und ausbauen möchte.
Nuxeo 5 is an innovative, standards-based, open source framework for ECM applications. Its component-based and service-oriented architecture makes it easy to customize and extend, making developers more efficient and ultimately, happier.
Wilos is an orchestration process software under GPL license (General Public License). It allows Wilos users to manage a project driven by a software process engineering taking from an exported xml file of the Composer of Eclipse Process Framework. The process is based on the Software Process Engineering MetaModel (SPEM2) specification of the OMG standard. The tool is composed of two parts:
1. Ajax based web application which is the main part of Wilos. It allows importing EPF processes, managing projects and team members. This application allows to manage different kinds of wilos users. (See the Wilos web application features )
2. Rich desktop client is a personal assistant (looks like a famous Internet Messenger tool), which provides guidances for following the selected process. (See the Wilos Assistant features )
This link shows an overview of the wilos workflow.
A new software from my favourite commercial company, Thoughtworks. They founded a subbranch, "Studios" for such kind of products. I've seen so many tools promising being agile but finally only being flat-featured and non-adjustable. To be released June 2007.
The Security Officers Management and Analysis Project (SOMAP.org) is all about Open Source Information Security Risk Management. It is our belief that risk management processes and best practices need to be offered in an open kind. Only freely available risk management informations can potentially lead to a better security management and further development of the whole risk management field.
Build. Test. Release.
Maestro - the powerful, open source-based solution stack from Mergere, brings best practices to build automation, eliminating most tedious interaction at runtime.
Based on the Apache Software Foundation's Maven, the Mergere's build platform frees developers to focus on writing applications, instead of writing build scripts. Maestro gives development teams the tools to automate, track, audit and analyze their application life cycle, to ensure that builds run from start to finish without issues -- shortening release time-lines, enhancing code quality, and enabling organizations to capture, maintain and reuse project knowledge.
Studies (eg Standish, 1995 et al) show that poor requirements are a prime cause of project failure or insufficiency, yet commercial requirements tools are very expensive. There exists no full-featured Open Source Requirements Architecture tool. This project intends to fill that gap, integrating with other Open Source CASE tools to provide a complete Open Source CASE environment.
My favourite PM software, better than open workbench or MS project. Only XPlanner is compatible, but demands following XP, which is not appropriate for each project. If I had time, I made it web-enabled.
Very interesting article, seems to be an extract of the author's book on rapid sw development from 1996 (sic). Many points (especially #4 e.g.) look quite familiar to me.
