Basel, Switzerland and Newport Beach, CA - June 30, 2008 - Day Software (SWX:DAYN, OTCQX:DYIHY) has extended the deadline for entries for the first annual Global JCR Cup. Designed to encourage the development of content-centric applications based on the Java Content Repository (JCR) application programming interface (API) for content access, JSR 170, the contest will now run through 12:00am PT, September 30, 2008.
"We're receiving a myriad of content-centric applications and want to allow entrants more time for their creations," said David Nuescheler, Day's CTO and spec lead for JSR 170. "The judging panel of well-known developers and technologists are enjoying their review of the innovative submissions in response to our inquiry, and the group looks forward to naming a winner this fall."
The contest challenges entrants to create blogs, wikis, business process management, multi-channel content delivery and enterprise content management applications leveraging Day's CRX, a fully JCR-compliant content repository based on Apache Jackrabbit, and the bundled easy-to-use, rapid Web development framework. Submissions must demonstrate originality, high-quality design and code, and appropriate use of the JCR API.
Judges include David Nuescheler, Day's chief technology officer and the spec lead for JSR 170 and JSR 283; Joseph B. Ottinger, editor of TheServerSide; and Michael Marth, an industry expert on Java and open source technologies. The winner will receive a fully loaded MacBook Pro with a 17-inch widescreen.
Older content-centric applications were typically built using legacy repositories, databases and file-systems that lacked standardized infrastructural facilities. The JCR standard, in conjunction with JCR-compliant repositories, represents an innovative foundation for new content-centric applications that can be built quickly and elegantly, with a focus on users and their content.
Day's technologies allow companies to access their most valuable assets - information about their specific businesses, processes, products, customers and documents, which were previously 'locked' in proprietary repositories. Working with industry leaders such as EMC, IBM, SUN and Oracle, Day initiated and drove industry adoption of JSR 170. Under the leadership of Nuescheler, JSR 283 (version 2.0 of the Content Repository for Java Technology API), has successfully cleared Public Review. The next version of the standard will help to further improve the interoperability of content applications and content repositories.
