NEC, Partners, Global Wireless
& the Sopranos

- David H. Young, Editor


Okay, okay, so it's a journal, not a newsletter. We're now the Lutris Enhydra Journal - a cutting edge publication for both technology and business communities. Yes, it's a bit dominated by the technology side right now, but articles from Paul Morgan on the merits of Open Source, Digitalsesame's David Li's perspective on wireless computing in Asia and our first Partner's Spotlight featuring Epic Partner's story on how they've leveraged Enhydra should make great reading for business and(!) technology folks trying to figure out what Enhyra can mean to you. And, I'm always looking for article contributions from the Enhydra community.

Since our last issue two months ago, the Enhydra eco-system of partners and developers has grown enormously. You may have seen our partner announcement that NEC is not only distributing Lutris Enhydra in Japan, but will be offering support and training services. Look for Kanji Enhydra doc as well!

And of course Lutris Enhydra continues to evolve as we announced Wireless Enhydra. Nothing else exists out there, closed or open source that can touch the native support for i-mode/cHTML, WML, VoiceXML and XHTML, heir apparent to both i-mode/cHTML and WML. Of course, Enhydra XMLC is the key. And we keep saying, Lutris didn't set out to conquer wireless devices. It was the Enhydra Open Source community (e.g., Digitalsesame, Room33, Indiqu, Anywhereyougo, and others who initiated and insisted that Enhydra grow to deliver their business goals to market.

Meanwhile, the amazing open source world brought Lutris and HP together thanks to Lindauer-Dornier's use [details] of Enhydra on the industry stalward HP3000 platform. L-D's happiness with a Web-enabled HP3000 resulted in HP's invitation to Lutris to demo Enhydra at HP World in Philadelphia last month.

At Lutris, the mantra is "partners, partners, partners." It's clear that everybody in the Enhydra community wins as more and more Lutris partners emerge to offer official commercial services to serve the Enhydra community. These services are critical to the success of Enhydra in Enterprise IT and elsewhere where folks are still a little hesitant to embrace open source technology, despite all the numerous value statements that go beyond low to no cost. To kick off our partner theme, we're introducing a new regular feature of the Lutris Enhydra Journal called the Partner Spotlight.

Partner spotlight will highlight Lutris partners who have a lot to say about how Enhydra has supported customer and product success stories. We're delighted to have Dan Larsen of Epic Partners kick off this new feature. Let us know if your company would like to follow in Dan's footsteps and tell the Journal world about how you're leveraging Enhydra.

Great stuff in this issue of the Journal. Where else are you going to learn about the technology behind HBO's Soprano's website? Bill Thompson of Softcom has the details. Our own Brett McLaughlin introduces us to XML data binding, a feature the could very nicely play into the Enhydra Enterprise architecture.

Well, at press time (31 Oct 2000), there are 760 of you registered. And that's without any advertising to the world outside of Enhydra.org.
