HP looks for e-speak advice from 3000 sites

After creating a pilot project to demonstrate e-speak’s compatibility on the HP e3000, the division is looking for input on how to deploy the new e-services tool in the MPE/iX customer base. At the recent SIG3000 Language Day, Java engineer Mike Yawn of the e3000 division described what’s next for the newest language in the HP stable.

“We are looking for customers interested in this technology,” Yawn said. “It’s one of those areas where we’re trying to decide how aggressively to roll it out.” After an early prototype last year proved compatibility with the platform, “there’s more work to productize and ship it, and the Internet and Interoperability Solution Team is trying to understand if they need to tell people it’s freeware and you can download it, or if we need to integrate it in an MPE release.”

HP is interested in assessing the level of customer demand for e-speak in the 3000 community, Yawn added. Interested customers should contact Yawn at mike_yawn@hp.com, or Internet and Interoperability team leader Jon Bale at jon_bale@hp.com. The e-speak software, which HP has placed in the public domain under open source administration, is available for download from www.e-speak.net. The HP Web site that explains the e-speak mission is at www.e-speak.hp.com.
