Introductions first. As you can probably tell from my profile, my name is Ryan. I'm currently working as an Architect in the Enterprise Integration Practice in NA Emerging Technologies Consulting at Red Hat. The Enterprise Integration Practice is focused on Red Hat JBoss Fuse and A-MQ, including the upstream Apache Camel, Karaf, ActiveMQ, CXF, and associated projects. A Practice Architect's role is split between client consulting engagements and knowledge sharing both within Red Hat and the worldwide developer community.

Intent next. Many avenues exist for knowledge sharing. Technical blogs are a common choice. My intention is to provide relevant content related to building enterprise-scale system integrations with open-source technologies and platforms, not just those with which Red Hat is involved.

In conclusion, a promise. The "in" alliteration ends now....
