SourceBeat Announces Membership In ObjectWeb

SourceBeat Publishing announced its membership in ObjectWeb, an international consortium promoting the development of open-source infrastructure software and middleware.

SourceBeat Publishing is a new model of publishing books on open-source technologies. As the only technical publisher to offer subscription-based digital content of its book titles, readers are assured of staying current and relevant with regard to emerging open-source projects.

ObjectWeb is an independent non-profit organization which federates open-source efforts to build the next generation of middleware and provide the foundation for high-quality, business-critical distributed applications. ObjectWeb authors within SourceBeat Publishing will first target a title on JOnAS, a Java application server currently undergoing certification of compliance with J2EE 1.4.

"We are extremely pleased to be a part of the ObjectWeb consortium. With our publishing of JOnAS and other ObjectWeb projects in the future, SourceBeat hopes to further increase the traction and acceptance of the excellent work within ObjectWeb," said Matt Filios, CEO of SourceBeat.

"The ObjectWeb consortium is open to all companies that choose to support the development of enterprise-grade open-source infrastructure software in a collaborative and sustainable way. In that respect, we are delighted to welcome SourceBeat, whose contribution will be pivotal to complement our technical offering with high-quality, updated reference books as requested by corporate users and developers," said Francois Letellier, ObjectWeb's director of communications.
