The OW2 Quarterly Meeting happened yesterday morning. We did our official introduction of Elastic Grid to the Technical Council and we can now announce Elastic Grid being part of the OW2 Community.

We had been already working with some of its members and some of the OW2 projects for a while, like XWiki and eXo Portal, so this move will ease partnerships with some of the other projects.

So now our project page on OW2 is available at http://forge.objectweb.org/projects/elastic-grid/. Our Subversion repository is also available until we complete our roadmap for the first release. Some mailing-lists have also been set up and you can subscribe to them.

We are thrilled by the opportunity to be part of the OW2 Community!

The slides of the BoF on Elastic Grid and EC2 are finally available!

Thanks for all of you who could come. We had some interesting discussions and feedback after the talk.
This is the first time I had a chance to go to JavaZone and I must say it’s been quite interesting. A few friends and I had the opportunity to discuss with Tom J. Bang who gave us the opportunity to taste local stuff.

I also had the opportunity to discuss with a lot of people there: my friends from our local user group (Guillaume Laforge, Julien Viet, Alexis Moussine-Pouchkine, Jerome Lacoste) but also Scott Davis and Eitan Suez. (Sorry for all the other ones I forgot to cite.)

For those of you who could not make it for our BoF session, the organizers of the JavaZone event will provide a video. I’ll update the blog when the video is available.

I have added a lot of code into the SVN repository in order to provide some experimental support for Amazon FPS.

The current version (revision 186) supports most of the operations you need when you manipulate:

• single use tokens,
• recurring tokens,
• post paid tokens,
• edit tokens.

Basically the current API allow you to generate URL for the CBUI  pipelines, extract information from the request when FPS returns to your site and all the account related APIs, like Account Activity and such.

This code is still in experimental status and I’d like to gather some initial feedback.

What’s left to be done is (ETA: end of the month):

• multi use tokens support,
• prepaid tokens support,
• IPN support.
