Two software architects from Orange & Bronze are expected to attend the OS Summit Asia later this year. Butch Landingin, Chief Technology Officer, and Jan Michael Ibanez, Software Architect, of Orange & Bronze are among the chosen speakers of this year’s largest open source community conference in Asia. The event is a first-time collaboration of two of the leading organizations in the open source community, Apache Software Foundation and Eclipse Foundation.

This joint venture is in response to the growing support for the open source technology in Asia over the recent years. Aside from various activities planned by the organizers, the conference will feature a small number of speakers to talk on new technologies, development methods, business and marketing, and licensing issues in open source software. Interested speakers were asked to submit topic proposals to a conference selection committee, the same committee which approved of Landingin’s and Ibanez’s proposals. Landingin, author of a news publication software, Squidshot will talk on how to integrate the Eclipse BIRT Framework with the Spring Framework.

Ibanez will conduct a session on how to use Memcahe in Java as way of increasing performance of Java enterprise applications. OS Summit Asia 2007 will be held at the Le Meridian Hotel located in Hong Kong’s Cyberport IT Development Zone. This 5-day event will start on the 26th and end on the 30th of November.
