Draft Press release on Tuscany graduation

APACHE TUSCANY PROJECT GRADUATES AS A OFFICIAL TOP LEVEL APACHE PROJECT.

Open Source SOA Framework becomes full Apache project

------------------------------ Start of Tuscany's PR-------------------------------------------------- http://www.apache.org/^{Image Added} – July XXX, 2008 –
The Apache Software Foundation today announced that the Apache Tuscany project has released its 1.3 version of SCA for Java. Tuscany recently graduated from the Apache Incubator and became a full Apache project.

Apache Tuscany provides an infrastructure for building, deploying, running and managing SOA solutions developed with Service Component Architecture (SCA). Apache Tuscany supports SCA specification provided by OASIS open CSA (http://www.oasis-opencsa.org^{Image Added}) and provides additional support for OSGI, scripting languages and Web2.0. Tuscany supports many different binding protocols, programming technologies and works with variety of container models. It has a modular architecture that makes it easy to integrate with other technologies and is integrated with many Apache projects. Tuscany has a lightweight runtime that can be embedded or run stand-alone. Tuscany runs on Tomcat, Jetty, Geronimo and other application servers

The Tuscany project has released a number of milestones since its inception in 2005 and is receiving positive feedback based on production level usage. This release is the first release out of incubation and includes additional capabilities beyond what was available before. Apache Tuscany can be downloaded from the Apache Tuscany website at http://tuscany.apache.org^{Image Added}.

Service Component Architecture programming model that Tuscany supports provides a level of abstraction that separates the concerns of developing business solutions from the infrastructure and technology details and therefore eliminates application brittleness in SOA. This improves flexibility and agility and lowers the development cost. SCA works with different languages and container models and therefore enables IT to leverage existing assets.
