JBoss Planning Acquisitions

"After a hectic week during which it added two high-profile resellers and launched its first comprehensive channel program, open-source pioneer JBoss is now in the market to acquire other open-source software companies.

Atlanta-based JBoss announced earlier this week that it had signed Japanese systems integrator NEC and European outsourcing firm Capgemini Nederland to reseller contracts. The company also announced a new reseller certification program to put a more traditional structure around its untraditional channel. On Thursday, one of its key investors said the company is likely to make some small acquisitions of vendors with complementary products."
