Robocon — Introduction of CamundaLibrary
At Robocon 2021 I was honored to present CamundaLibrary to the Robot Framework community. The community provided great feedback and interest, so I moved the repository to the Robot Framework community hub on GitHub: MarketSquare
In the final session at Robocon 2021 I was able to demonstrate a short demo of CamundaLibrary. You can revisit my lightning talk at the robocon webpage:

During the conference, I learned that people were already using CamundaLibrary. For instance, NorthCode had a booth showing a demo of a complete RPA Service stack based on docker-compose, providing Camunda, Camunda-Modeler, file-storage for robot reports and several Robot-Service-Task containers. All in one docker-compose scrip! Checkout their demo repositiory on GitHub.
That NorthCode demo was probably my personal hightlight of the conference. Until then an integration of Camunda and Robot Framework had only been an idea. I had implemented and put it in to production, but until Robocon I had no feedback at all what others may think about the approach. Imagine my surprise and excitement when I ran in to their demo!
Robocon always concludes in so called “Sprints” the day after the main conference. That day is basically a community centered hackathon. Based on all the feedback, I decided to move CamundaLibrary from GitLab to the MarketSquare on GitHub:
https://github.com/MarketSquare/robotframework-camunda
MarketSquare is the translation of the square next to the locations where Robocon takes place annually in Helsinki. On GitHub, it collects all community projects for Robot Framework. Projects hosted under MarketSquare are more likely to be continued, because although the original maintainer remains in charge, other community members can step in more easily.
Have you experimented with Camunda and Robot Framework, yet? Did you use CamundaLibrary?
