Quotes:
"OSCON has been traditionally perceived as the most successful, content-rich conference for open source developers. This year it will once again bring together the industry's brightest developers, hackers, bloggers, and observers to educate the audience about what drives open source technology today," said Apatar Founder and CEO Renat Khasanshyn. "Many proprietary software vendors consider the open source movement evil, and compare it to communism. I look forward to a lively discussion with fellow technology executives, developers, open source experts and investors about how we are going to change the software industry for the better."

Major Apatar Offerings 
Apatar Enterprise Data Mashups (www.apatar.com)  

Apatar Enterprise Data Mashups is the first open source on-demand data integration software tool set and services, which help users integrate information between databases, files, and applications. Imagine you could visually design (drag and drop) a workflow to exchange data and files between files (Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, CSV/TXT files), databases (such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL, Oracle), applications (Salesforce.com, SugarCRM), and the top Web 2.0 destinations (Flickr, RSS feeds, Amazon S3), all without having to write a single line of code. Users install a visual job designer application to create integration jobs called DataMaps, link data between the source(s) and the target(s), and schedule one-time or recurring data transformations. Imagine this capability fits cleanly and quickly into your projects. You've just imagined what Apatar can do for you.  

ApatarForge (www.apatarforge.org)  
ApatarForge is the first on-demand service, released under an open-source license, which allows anyone to build and publish an RSS/REST feed of information from their favorite Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, news feeds, databases, and applications. ApatarForge is the community effort where business users and open source developers publish, share, and re-use data integration jobs, called DataMaps, over the web. ApatarForge is the prime destination for Apatar users to collaborate and extend an Apatar Data Integration project. ApatarForge.org now hosts more than 120 DataMaps containing metadata. All DataMaps are available for free download at http://www.apatarforge.org.
