RE: Donation of BPMN-based modeler for BPEL Use Case group

["John Evdemon" <jevdemon@microsoft.com>]

Patrick,

Thank you for your generous offer. 

We now have two modeling tools that we can draw from - both of which have been donated to the Use Case group.  Please contact Patrick if you are interested in using ILOG for your work.

Patrick: I will forward you some information on the Use Case subgroup later this afternoon.  Thank you again for your generous offer - we look forward to working with you in the near future.

Sincerely,

John Evdemon
Co-Chair, Web Services Business Process Execution Language
