We just helped launch a cool new Facebook application, Connected Weddings. Check it out at apps.facebook.com/connectedweds
A few months ago we first announced the start of this project, which was partially funded by a grant to our client (New Gravity Ventures) from the Facebook Fund.
Leveraging open source software from the likes of Alfresco, JBoss, and Ingres, Connected Weddings offers engaged couples on Facebook:
- Free Personal Wedding Website
- Seating chart that uses your Facebook Friend List!
- To-do list with over 150 of predefined tasks
- Gowns, tips, articles and much more
In addition to the Facebook version, there’s also an iPhone edition as well.

As a sponsor of JBoss World this year, we’ve had a chance to talk with many JBoss users — both new and old. The conference is focused on a few major themes:
- Next Generation Web Applications with JBoss Seam, Richfaces, AJAX, Facelets, Portal, and more.
- Integration and SOA with JBoss’s new SOA platform that includes JBoss jBPM, ESB, and Rules
- Core technologies such as EJB3, Hibernate, and Cache
- Security and Management of large-scale, enterprise deployments
This is the largest JBoss World event yet, with almost 800 attendees. In our booth we’ve been showing off new web applications built with JBoss Seam/Facelets backed by the Alfresco content management platform and jBPM. Definitely a lot of excitement about using these technologies for next generation Enterprise 2.0 applications.
