Enterprise mashup server

IBM press release: Rod Smith, IBM's vice president of emerging Internet technologies, declared that the technologies underpinning blogs, wikis and innovative sites like Google Maps and Wikipedia on the Web will transform the way productivity applications are developed...

...IBM's Enterprise Mashup blends external information and web services (e.g., news feeds, weather reports, maps, traffic conditions and more) with enterprise content and services, instantly "mashing" them together to create a fast, flexible and affordable application for specific business needs. Mashup, derived from the hip-hop practice of mixing song samples, are a website or applications that combine content from more than one source into an integrated user application using open technologies like Ajax, PHP and syndicated feeds (RSS or ATOM).
Nice to see IBM paying homage to blogs, wikis and feeds: the web 2.0 building blocks, but the press release is a bit nebulous. It's hard to tell if Smith is discussing an actual product, a "mashup server" as James Govenor put it, consulting services or just making reference to various IBM Web 2.0™ initiatives. If it is a server, I wonder if it's the effort that spawned the Abdera project.

Combination of all the above. We have actual products (like the OpenActivities stuff I've been involved with that spawned Abdera), the QEDWiki stuff that Rod has demo'd on occasion, bunch of internal Web 2.0 initiatives such as our blogging, wiki, social bookmarking and social networking services, a bunch of Web 2.0 stuff happening in Lotus, all kinds of stuff really. However, In the quote, Rod is mainly speaking about QEDWiki, I think.

Sounds like a good use for Roller, like back when I was trying out geoaggregation with maps.
