How I meet Opalis

Hello!
Yesterday I started my activity related with the new System Center product: Microsoft System Center Opalis. This product is like a BizTalk but for Data Center Automation! It orchestrates actions across a lot of IT tools which are used in the datacenter. For example we can develop our own workflow which take some specific alert information from SCOM and than apply some recovery action using SCCM or something really more complicated!
The first useful links which are must-to-know for Opalis newby is the following:
1. http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/en/us/opalis.aspx - Opalis Home Page at System Center site. There you can find the official info about this product download trial version etc.
2. http://blogs.technet.com/b/charlesjoy - cool blog about Opalis N1 (author - Charles Joy)
3. http://blog.elmore.be/ - cool blog about Opalis and Integration Packs (author - Sebastien Morel)
Two blogs above provide a lot of integesting notes which could be useful if you want to develop your own workflows for Opalis, want to understand this solution better or develop your own Integration Pack (what is actually my case :) ).
Another interesting thing - you can find some sources on the Codeplex! Search by "Opalis" word and you will find comunity version of Opalis Integration Service and Integration Pack for the Active Directory.
