camunda BPM 7.0.0-alpha3 released
camunda BPM 7.0.0-alpha3 is out now! It packs a bunch of new features such as support for Spring Process Applications and correlation via the engine’s Java API. First things first: Get it here! Spring Process Applications Use process engines, container-managed or embedded, from within your Spring application context (on Tomcat, Glassfish). See below an example from our getting started guide: Message correlation BPMN offers two incoming message constructs that are supported by the engine: Message start events and intermediate catching message events. Now you have the possibility to deliver messages in one call. Use the RuntimeService#correlateMessage methods to correlate messages to executions waiting for a specific message or start a new process instance. You do not need to know any…

Camunda BPM incubation space launched with contribution by plexiti
I am happy to announce the official launch of the Camunda BPM incubation space with the first large community contribution by plexiti. View it on GitHub: github.com/camunda/camunda-bpm-fluent-testing The goal of the Camunda BPM incubation space is to promote the development of interesting new projects and ideas around BPM, BPMN and process engines. Due to the productization and stabilization focus in the camunda BPM core platform, we decided to separate out these experimental projects from the core platform. The core BPM platform is stable and maintained and can be found in the GitHub repository camunda-bpm-platform. This is also the base for the supported (commercial) camunda BPM platform product. The camunda-bpm-incubation repository contains a list of incubation projects which may be located in that…

The start of camunda.org community events
Last week we had our first two camunda.org community kick-off events. On Wednesday we were at the Deutsche WertpapierService Bank AG in Frankfurt followed by an evening on Thursday at LVM Versicherung in Münster. Both companies successfully work with camunda BPM and have spoken of their experiences with the platform. We also got a chance to present the camunda project to groups of about 20 BPM enthusiasts and had open discussions about aims, preferences, likes and wishes. A lot of positive feedback trickled through this week and more evenings with varying subjects will follow. Make sure to sign up to our newsletter to find out about what’s happening next and check out some pictures below. And last but not least, our…

Camunda BPM Launch Party
After launching our open source platform Camunda BPM on 18th March, we gave it a proper welcoming to the BPM community last week. 55 people showed up to the launch party held at Camunda HQ, which coincided with our 5th birthday. It was a great night, during which the hard-working team around Camunda BPM had the chance to demonstrate some of the platform’s great features and advantages followed by good discussions with the guests afterwards. But not only that, our foosball table, Wii and a fridge filled to the brim with beer made sure that the hard work also paid off with some well-deserved fun. Take a look at some pictures we took on the night and make sure to…

New: camunda BPM-Community
Process management is not a bureaucratic evil but can be a key instrument for scalable business models. But to do so we need to get rid of our old ways of thinking. Need an example? The whole Zero Code BPM – Illusion, is one of many errors that have dominated process management in the past. On 18th March we released our BPM platform under an open source license as Business Process Management is impossible without IT (not everyone likes this, but it’s just the way it is). But of course BPM requires a lot more than purely a technical platform. That’s why we are also, bit by bit, providing our knowledge that we have acquired over the years. You can…

The Camunda Hypothesis
Scott Francis has written an excellent post about the core message of our presentation at bpmNEXT. He called it the “Zero Code Hypothesis”. Though Scott’s summary is completely right in its essentials, I would like to put some details straight: We don’t think that “Zero Code BPM” does not work at all – Zero Coding and our approach are both reasonable, depending on what you have and what you need. The real problem is that most of the zero coding BPM vendors claim that you should use their solution for situations where you actually shouldn’t. We do not condemn the ideas and ambitions often associated with the term “ACM”. Quite the contrary, we even believe that our approach is very well…

camunda modeler 2.0.12 released
Yesterday we released version 2.0.12 of our modeler with a number of bug fixes as well as layout and usability improvements. One highlight is splitting layouted sequence flows to insert new flow elements between two connected nodes. Other things worth noting include Improved integration of the model wizard Proper support for event subprocess / non-interrupting start event Diagram image generation handles spaces in diagram file names correctly We also fixed some crucial bugs, reworked the layouting of participants and the resize behavior of pools, lanes and subprocesses. For details refer to the issues closed in this release or check our detailed technical changelog. As always, upgrade your modeler installation and tell us what you think!

Camunda @bpmNEXT 2013
bpmNEXT has definitely been a Home Run, as Bruce Silver puts it. Bruce has impressively succeeded in creating a real think tank event for BPM thought leaders sharing their ideas, visions and quite a lot of crazy new stuff around BPM. For those of you who do not know him: Bruce Silver is the BPMN Guru in the US, and I really admire him for both his competence and all that he has done for the standard. Rest assured that a good deal of BPMN’s amazing success is due to him. That said, it should not be surprising how excited I was when discovering in his Review Post a comment about my presentation of Camunda Cycle, one of the numerous…
