OSA EXECUTIVE INTERVIEW
A Passion for Vibrant Communities
Taking a personal stake in energizing the OSA meta-community, the ever-busy Gopi Ganapathy, founder of platform-builder Essentia, has taken on the challenge of leading the Community and Business Development Working Group for OSA. Essentia provides a stable, feature-rich home for the OSA public website and community collaboration portal, initially modeled on JasperForge, the successful community it built for OSA member Jaspersoft, and on the mother-of-all open source developer meta-communities, SourceForge, also an OSA member.

OSA EXECUTIVE INTERVIEW
In at the Start, In for the Long Haul
Enterprise Architect Uwe K.H. Vieille of Unisys has led a team of Unisys engineers working on the Common Customer View project for OSA since its inception. Along with another Unisys engineer early on, and now with Mike Moody of Jaspersoft, Uwe coordinates the efforts of other OSA member companies in their contributions to this demonstration project for interoperability best practices.
