Don opens the Box on Oslo

Don Box and Doug Purdy where on Dot.Net Rocks. I was quite excited to listen to them this morning on my morning commute to Basle. But I'm still confused: what is Oslo ? They still where talking in riddles, not telling any details. There are some traces in the blogs, like Doug put it in 3 bullet points:

To that end, we have boiled down Oslo to three very simple things:

  • A tool that helps people define and interact with models in a rich and visual manner
  • A language that helps people create and use textual domain-specific languages and data models
  • A relational repository that makes models available to both tools and platform components

That is it.  That is all Oslo is.  Oslo is just the modeling platform.

On the DNR show Doug said things like: "the next big thing" ...

well, let's see what they will show on the PDC starting October 27th. There will be 6 sessions about Oslo.

Are there any demos available of Oslo to look at, or is it really just all pie in the sky?

It seems they are going to repeat the .Net 3.0 debacle - spend ages working on some great new software, do a few presentations, release quietly, then move on to something else. For that reason, I can imagine Oslo will not get off the ground for at least another 5 years.
