Introduction

This forum is about both workflow (middleware) software and services, also called components, (small chunks of code for performing specific tasks). Please use a very broad definition since any sort of software that can be used to connect or compose services into larger processes fits in this forum. Equally, any software that has been found to be useful by the community and can be made into a re-usable component is appropriate to this forum. Both fully automated processes and those which include people should be part of these discussions. Also, it's not just about software! The layout of the processes, often called business processes and business integration patterns, are equally part of the discussion. None of these discussion need to be Fedora-specific since this is all about connecting any component from any source including your existing systems.
