JBoss Seam is an application framework that is used by our customers to build next-generation Web 2.0 applications and is designed to eliminate complexity. JBoss Seam, along with JBoss Hibernate, is one of the many fully integrated and supported components in our JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.
Recently, JBoss Seam was recognized by The Great Indian Developer Awards as a finalist in the “Frameworks – Libraries, Components and Frameworks” category. The Awards, which include 15 varied categories, will announce the winners during the Great Indian Developer Summit 2008 in Bangalore, India, taking place May 19-23.

It’s no secret that Red Hat is a leading contributor to the development of open source software. In fact, as noted by a couple of recent surveys, Red Hat is the leading corporate contributor to the most important open source project of all, the Linux Kernel.
Last week, the Linux Foundation published a report about Linux kernel development and we were recognized as the leading corporate contributor with over 9,000 changes contributed, or 11.2 percent of the total. And we were also recognized a few months ago by Linux Weekly News as the most active company contributor both by changesets (12 percent) and by lines changed (12.7 percent) in the development of the 2.6.23 kernel. The results for these two reports are summarized in the following table:
| Top 6 Corporate Contributors | |||||
| Linux Foundation | Linux Weekly News | ||||
| Company Name | Changes | % of total | Company Name | Changes | % of total |
| None | 11,594 | 13.0% | Unknown | 1,180 | 19.0% |
| Unknown | 10,803 | 12.9% | Red Hat | 744 | 12.0% |
| Red Hat | 9,351 | 11.2% | None | 559 | 9.0% |
| Novell | 7,385 | 8.9% | IBM | 507 | 8.2% |
| IBM | 6,952 | 8.3% | Novell | 421 | 6.8% |
| Intel | 3,388 | 4.1% | Intel | 184 | 3.0% |
It’s been a while since JBoss World was last held in the U.S. in June 2006 in Las Vegas, but community, customer and partner interest for JBoss technology and the JBoss World event continues to grow. In fact, JBoss World Orlando is the biggest JBoss World yet, with close to 800 attendees!
While over 32 percent of attendees identify themselves as developers or engineers, the other cool statistic is that nearly 38 percent of all attendees hold CxO, VP, Director or Architect roles. This diversity will provide a great opportunity for the JBoss.org community and JBoss Enterprise Middleware customers to rub elbows and exchange ideas on how to get the most value from JBoss technologies. It’s clear that JBoss Enterprise Middleware has the attention of IT decision makers more than ever before. Why? Customers are finding that open source middleware delivers greater value than alternatives. They are deploying more and more mission-critical applications and services, and they are expanding their open source middleware reference architectures beyond the application server.

An important milestone has been reached for the upcoming Red Hat Developer Studio product from Red Hat. We have completed open sourcing the former Exadel Studio Pro plugins from the Red Hat/Exadel Partnership that we announced back at EclipseCon in March.
These plugins, along with the former JBoss IDE plugins, and some new ones (e.g. a Seam plugin) are all available at the JBoss Tools project at jboss.org. You can visit the JBoss Tools project to check out the source code and download the latest versions of the plugins. And, of course, we welcome your participation in the open source project too.
