Dear community, **We won it** – and we’re proud of our R&D team and the community that has contributed to Bonita Open Solution’s selection as the [Eclipse Community Award 2011: Best Modeling Tool](http://www.eclipse.org/org/press-release/20110321_awardwinners.php). Speech! Speech! Mickael Istria, member of the Bonita Studio development team, has this to say: _“This is a collective success, for everybody working at BonitaSoft, whose goal is to get the product (and the company) going well. We got a lot of feedback from everyone to improve even very small but very important things in the product. These 'details' were also important contributions for BOS to win this award._ _"Our community of users who have provided great feedback, and also the communities we are active in and rely on to develop the product, really helped us all along with development._ _"So I think everybody involved can be proud of their contributions to the product, which led to this award.”_ \<\clink glasses\> That’s 4000+ members in the community now, by the way… Developer Baptiste Mesta will be presenting at [Zenika](http://www.zenika.com/processus_BPM_Bonita?fg=50006) in Paris on 31 March, so [sign up here](http://www.zenika.com/processus_BPM_Bonita?fg=50006). (If we have the award in hand by then, maybe Baptiste can show it off.) _Check out what’s of interest to you in our community and [corporate](http://www.bonitasoft.com/)sites._ ## The Latest from R&D A new feature in development: **restore point**. In the shared repository, mark the state of your whiteboard and its processes when you reach a place where you want to save your work and explore options from that point forward. Continue with the design, and if you want to return to that earlier state, go back to your "restore point." Stay tuned. ## Recent contributions **Some new connectors - for Excel users** - [Get Table From Excel](http://www.bonitasoft.org/exchange/extension_view.php?eid=219) – pick up multiple rows and columns - [Get One Row Or Column From Excel](http://www.bonitasoft.org/exchange/extension_view.php?eid=218) – pick up multiple cells - [Get One Cell From Excel](http://www.bonitasoft.org/exchange/extension_view.php?eid=217) – pick up a single cell - [Connect Excel](http://www.bonitasoft.org/exchange/extension_view.php?eid=216) – and generate an xls sheet **And:** [QQ Online](http://www.bonitasoft.org/exchange/extension_view.php?eid=215) – see who’s available to QQ Chat **And some new processes** - [Report issues](http://www.bonitasoft.org/exchange/extension_view.php?eid=221) – Got issues?
