Dear community,

This was a busy week for us: 3 videos, 1 written tutorial, some news from the US and our first winner of a BonitaSoft mug! and on the forum: ~140 posts and some interesting discussions.

The videos were inspired from the community forum discussions:
- How to get the latest tweet about a subject with Bonita Open Solution, the written tutorial here
- How to call a subprocess with Bonita Open Solution
- How to populate a “select” widget from a database with Bonita Open Solution

Thanks, guys. Keep them coming.

Miguel returned from the US with some good news about collaboration with BonitaSoft.

First winner of the BonitaSoft mug is esdaniel for his ideas about twitter, google adwords mashups. We’re giving our great mugs for your good ideas on the forum. You wanna a mug? My advice: participate.

Live from R&D

This week, Bonita Open Solution enters in a new era of communication. We are now able to send messages between processes. This useful feature has been anticipated for a long time. It allows you to exchange data between two independent processes.

Even more a good news, the R&D team also implemented timer events. I really appreciate this feature, because with the last release of Bonita (aka v4) it was very difficult to do a simple wait action.

What other useful suggestions do you have to improve Bonita?
