Plumbwork orange
After my previous post about WS-Eventing I was contacted by John Bristowe (subscribed) who told me about his Gotdotnet project, called “Plumbwork Orange”, “…a workspace dedicated to bringing some WS-* implementations into the WSE fold.” as John explains in this post. I have joined the project and hope to dedicate some time to helping with…

Ad-hoc BOF on Web Services-based Grids @ GGF11
We are thinking of running an ad-hoc BOF at GGF-11 on Web Services-based Grids. The BOF will be an informal gathering of people who are interested in building Grid applications using existing Web Services specifications. Some suggestions for discussion: Have we reached the limit of what we can do with existing Web Services specifications when…

Michael Platt on the “Grid”
Worth spending a minute to read this. It’s not just us thinking that the Grid community shouldn’t be concentrating its efforts on the infrastructure; that’s Web Services.
