INGRES CAFÉ NAMED A FINALIST FOR THE LINUXWORLD PRODUCT EXCELLENCE AWARDS
"Consolidated Application Foundation for Eclipse" Competes in the Best Application Development Tool Category
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - July 30, 2008 - Ingres Corporation, a leading provider of open source database management software and support services, announced today that Ingres CAFÉ (Consolidated Application Foundation for Eclipse) is a finalist for the LinuxWorld Product Excellence Awards. The awards will be presented at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo next week in San Francisco, CA. Ingres CAFÉ, an open source community contributed project, is nominated in the Best Application Development Tool category.
Ingres CAFÉ brings together in one bundle all the components developers need to create and deploy rich Java applications. This type of bundle is an industry first, built using the open source development framework by the Eclipse Foundation, a not-for-profit, community and member supported organization. Ultimately, Ingres CAFÉ offers a complete, integrated environment on top of Linux that accelerates and simplifies Java application development.
"The LinuxWorld Product Excellence Awards are considered the industry standard for innovation in the Linux community," said Melinda Kendall, vice president and general manager, LinuxWorld and NGDC. "Every year we look forward to recognizing our exhibitors who truly affect this industry by developing products that represent the best technology available to users of Linux and open source."
"We are thrilled that Ingres CAFÉ has been named a finalist for a LinuxWorld Product Excellence Award," said Emma McGrattan, senior vice president of engineering at Ingres. "The Ingres CAFÉ community bundle takes the guesswork out of determining which set of components are required to build and deploy rich Java applications with Eclipse and Ingres all with a simple three click install."
The LinuxWorld Product Excellence Awards cover a wide variety of open solutions categories, and are voted on by a panel of independent judges and industry experts in recognition of product and service innovation, as well as solutions in open computing. Judging will take place at the conference on Tuesday, August 5, and winners will be announced at a ceremony at 4:00 p.m. (PT) at the Center Stage, located in the North Hall of the Moscone Center.
Running on Linux, Ingres CAFÉ bundles together many open source-friendly solutions, including the Eclipse integrated development environment (IDE), Ingres database management system (DBMS), Apache Tomcat, Hibernate and JavaServer Faces (JSF) libraries into a single installable package. Before Ingres CAFÉ, Java developers working on Linux had to build these application components and put them together themselves.
