Open Source Message Queuing System

psicode writes "John Davies has announced AMQ, an effort at JPMorgan Chase & Co. to create an open-source message queuing system that can compete with proprietary message systems like IBM MQSeries and Tibco/RV. The announcement was made at the annual conference Web Services on Wall Street during Davies' presentation on February 1. eWeek has an article today with more details and some funny statements about Red Hat, SuSE and Sun possibly integrating AMQ into their "kernel". If JPMorgan Chase & Co. follows through with their announcement and they come up with a suitable open-source license, AMQ could become the Apache of messaging systems."

Open Source Honesty and Ethics

[Anonymous Coward]

Wall Street is also looking for a new Open Source Ethics and Honesty implementation as current proprietary implementations seem to be faulty, buggy, and expensive to maintain.
