On May 31, 17:00 CEST SonarSource is going to host a live online webinar about Sonar 3.0. The objective of the webinar is to introduce the feature set of Sonar 3.0 and also to go through the vision for the platform as well as its roadmap.
More information and registration to the webinar are available on SonarSource web site.
Cyril Picat asked us a few months ago whether we would be interested to participate to a session at the Lausanne JUG on Software Quality : so far nothing unusual ! Read the rest of this page »
On the 23rd of February, Freddy is going to make a presentation at Geneva Java User Group.
We brought back a little pinguin from Open World Forum last Friday !
During the next two months, several Sonar presentations should happen around the world. Here is the list of the ones I know about ;-)
For french speakers, I would like to mention as well that a year after writing a user guide in french, Romain Linsolas has updated it to reflect the features that have been added in the last 12 months. This is really a good job done by Romain !
No one from SonarSource could attend the event. However we are proud that Sonar is going to be represented there by a company who we share at least 3 values with: Agility, Open Source (GreenPepper) and Human values. This company is Pyxis !
At the same time, the first version of the Greenpepper Sonar plugin has been released. Go and meet the Pyxis’s team at Agile 2009 : they are really nice people, I am sure they will give you a demo of GreenPepper / Sonar… and maybe a Sonar tee-shirt ;-).
We mentioned it already in a previous post : Codehaus aka the Haus is probably the best forge available for business friendly open source projects; they have a very pragmatic approach to software development which leads them to choose and provide the best collaborative tools available on the market.
Since a couple of weeks, to make the service even better, the Haus has decided to offer Sonar as a service. This was announced on the Haus blog (inaugurated at that occasion !). The principle is very simple : projects must simply use Bambo hosted at Codehaus and create a job that runs mvn sonar:sonar.
After Nemo, the public instance of Sonar that can be used as a SaaS by open source projects, this is an important step toward mass adoption of code quality management tools.
Romain Linsolas from Valtech announced on his blog (in french) that he is going to make a presentation of Sonar at the XPDay France 2009, happening in Paris next week.
This follows two presentations on Sonar that happened recently :
Next event should be next November in the JUG of Lyon (France) where we have been invited to make a presentation. If you wish to talk about Sonar at an event, feel free to contact us, we can help you preparing materials.
If you plan to attend the XPDay France next week and have questions about Sonar, feel free to get in touch with Romain. He is one of Sonar early adopters and is definitely a friendly guy.

The results of the 19th annual JOLT Product Excellence Awards have been announced last week and … Sonar was awarded a productivity prize in the Testing Tools category. Sonar was very close to the excellence award that was won by easyb this year. Congratulations to them ! The Jolt Awards recognize the most innovative, trend-making, ahead-of-the-curve products. It rewards the software products, books and technologies that developers should be using today. So, don’t wait and give a try to Sonar today ! |
2009 starts like 2008 finished, with a good news for Sonar ! :-) Indeed, after being nominated as finalist in 2009 Jolt Awards, Sonar has been declared Codehaus featured project of the month for January.
For the ones who don’t know Codehaus : Codehaus is a forge that hosts open source projects, but only those that have a business-friendly license. I take the opportunity of this announce to remind people that Codehaus is certainly the best available forge for open source projects.
