Model Based Testing – Ian Craggs
"We're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself" – Carl Sagan
I stopped working for IBM in October of last year (2019) after several decades. The EclipseTM PahoTM open source project was started in 2011 by IBM under the auspices of the Eclipse Foundation. I’ve been involved in it as a contributor since the beginning. The goal was to help create a community around MQTT – … Continue reading “Who is using Paho?”
It’s now three months since I left IBM and I’m starting to get used to the idea. I’ve been dealing with some of the Eclipse Paho C client backlog – firstly the PRs, and now onto some of the issues. It’s much easier to keep things under control with steady effort rather than in bursts … Continue reading “Eclipse Paho Sponsorship by HiveMQ”
Since October 10th, I am no longer an employee of IBM. It still comes as a surprise to me to write those words as I worked for IBM for almost my entire life in one way or another since leaving university. Now I’m just starting to get used to the idea. It wasn’t my idea … Continue reading “The Future of Paho”
I last wrote about the state of Paho in October. This post is a continuation of that one. Java Client Some of you might know that James Sutton, who is co-project lead with me and has worked on the Paho project for several years, has moved jobs within IBM. He intended to be able to … Continue reading “Latest Paho Status (2)”
We recently announced the release of Eclipse Paho 1.4, which includes updates to the C, Python and Go client libraries. The embedded C and Java clients are delayed somewhat. The fact that we have a Paho project release may pass many people by because they only look at the activities of individual components. Paho is … Continue reading “Latest on the Eclipse Paho Project”
In July or August of this year, Benjamin Cabé of the Eclipse Foundation asked if there were any volunteers for presenting at an Eclipse IoT day in Singapore. As I had already given talks on MQTT V5 earlier in the year at the Eclipse IoT day in Santa Clara and EclipseCon France, I thought, why … Continue reading “Eclipse IoT Day Singapore”
I gave a talk about MQTT V5 today at EclipseCon France, and at the end I gave the usual spiel about ways that people could help. After the talk, Cyrille Francois tweeted a great pictorial summary of the talk, as he did for other talks he attended. (Thanks Cyrille!) As part of the title of … Continue reading “Thoughts on Help for Eclipse Paho”
If you’re familiar with the Eclipse Paho test material, you’ll know that I wrote an MQTT 3.1.1 broker in Python with the purpose of providing a benchmark or oracle against which other implementations could be compared. Last year, I added support for the new MQTT V5.0 definition, so that client implementations of V5, including my … Continue reading “A New Fate for the Eclipse Paho “Test” Broker?”
OASIS MQTT-SN standardization – June 2020 Eclipse IoT Day Singapore – September 2018 EclipseCon France – June 2018 IoT World Santa Clara – May 2018 Thing Monk – London
Some people will be aware that I wrote a small MQTT broker in about 2008, made available on IBM’s alphaWorks website. It was called RSMB (Really Small Message Broker) when released, because the name we used first for it, Nanobroker, was already taken. Somewhat amusingly, an IBM website for RSMB still exists. A year or … Continue reading “What’s happening with RSMB?”
