WSO2 Technology Executives to Present Sessions on Open Source Approaches to Cloud Middleware and Lean Software at OSCON 2011

WSO2 today announced that O'Reilly's Open Source Convention 2011 will feature three presentations by WSO2 research executives. WSO2 Co-founder and CTO Paul Fremantle will lead two sessions on cloud computing: "PaaS Times: Understanding Open Source Platform-as-a-Service" and "Stratos - An Open Source Cloud Platform." Additionally, WSO2 Director of Solutions Architecture Asanka Abeysinghe will lead the session, "Join the Lean Wave," discussing the advantages of a lean, open software architecture approach in supporting multiple computing platforms. An OSCON Gold sponsor, WSO2 as well will have a booth to demonstrate how its open source middleware enables enterprises to seamlessly deploy applications and Web services on-premise and in the cloud. OSCON runs July 25-29, 2011 at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland.

Asanka Abeysinghe brings real-world expertise in enterprise open source middleware implementation as WSO2 director of solutions architecture, an Apache Software Foundation committee, and an Apache Synapse contributor. Asanka will demonstrate how the fully componentized, OSGI-compliant WSO2 middleware platform provides a lean approach to addressing some of enterprises' top portability concerns. Examples will include how applications can connect, migrate between, and burst across on-premise, private and public cloud infrastructures; how a government organization can implement a consumer portal and business API; and how a unified mobile API can be used to integrate heterogeneous back-end systems.

Since its conception, this trailblazing O'Reilly event has focused on changing mainstream business thinking and practices. Today, OSCON goes beyond its fundamental focus by showcasing how the close partnership between business and the open source community is building the future. OSCON is a in a class by itself gathering of all things open source, where participants find inspiration, confront new challenges, share their expertise, renew bonds to community, make significant connections, and find ways to give back to the open source movement. Now in its 13th year, OSCON strives to teach industry leaders new skills and highlight emerging open source technologies that will heavily impact how we live, work, and do business.
