Steve Martin has blogged about the upcoming Oslo CTP to be released at PDC (just 17 days to go).
Here’s the breakdown (straight from his blog):
In less than three weeks, the those attending the PDC will get a first-hand look at the three technologies that make up Oslo:
- A language – codenamed “M” – that helps people create and use textual domain-specific languages (DSLs) and data models
- A relational repository - that makes models available to both tools and platform components
- A tool – codenamed “Quadrant” – that helps people define and interact with models in a rich and visual manner
Now, in case those two codenames sound new; they are. While we’ve talked about both the tool and the language before, today is the first time we’ve publicly referred to them by their codenames: “Quadrant” and “M” which you’ll see reflected in the CTP packaging.

Note, the language – codenamed ‘M’ – is probably what was previously referred to as ‘D’ by some (we referred to it here).
Mary-Jo has a good summary also.
