Well, you might be asking yourself, what is this title all about? JBoss has given birth? What's that all about?! Well, it's about our acquisition of Metamatrix.
As some of you may know, we acquired a company by the name of Metamatrix, and Metamatrix is all about data federation. Metamatrix's technology was not open source at the time of the acquisition, and while we have been selling subscriptions to it, just like our subscriptions on our open source technology, it wasn't open source. Well, I'm proud to announce the birth of a new open source project into the JBoss family of middle-ware, and its called Teiid!
Yes, that's right, the new project is the culmination of a tremendous amount of work, by a great team of developers to open source the Metamatrix technology. We always said that we would open source the technology, and maybe some folks were beginning to doubt us, but we always live up to what we say we are going to do in the open source community, and its now officially here. When you have as large a code base as Metamatrix has, and you have some encumbered code that has to be replaced, it is a significant effort. All this had to be done, while simultaneously deliverying new functionality and patches to existing and new subscription customers. It's been a long road for the team, but its delivered! This will become the basis for all future products, which will be our Enterprise Data Services Platform.
I want to congratulate the entire team on mission accomplished!
You can find the new project, and the Eclipse based tools for it at the following links:

Teiid Designer
Go download it, test it, look at the code, and get involved, even if its just feedback in the forums and mailing lists.
Enjoy!

What the name stands for? :)
It actually just play on the initials EII, which stands for Enterprise Information Integration, which is the general class of middle-ware that Teiid (notice the EII in the middle) is in.
and how would one pronounce "Teiid"?
ted? teed? tide?
(people pronounce Jira wrong all the time, please give us guidance)
I received an answer to your pronounciation question by Steve Jacobs. Steve is our Technical Development Manager for these projects and the Enterprise Data Services Platform, and I quote:
"TEE-id
first result on google has pronunciation, even a recording:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/teiid"
