A great tribute to Jim

Congratulations to Tony, Savas and everyone else involved. This is a great tribute to both the person and scientist that is Jim Gray.

Interesting discussion on SOA Manifesto

I mentioned earlier that I'm on a group collaborating to create a SOA Manifesto along with Steve. Well as part of the effort to inform the public and solicit feedback I produced something for InfoQ. The result of that is a very useful discussion on the comments to that article, which I encourage anyone interested in the SOA Manifesto to check out. Unfortunately I was in Boston last week in meetings so didn't have much chance to participate in the discussion, but as Steve points out, we'll certainly take it to the working group. Thanks to everyone who participated!

SOA Manifesto Working Group

As a member of this working group I can only really second what Steve has to say on the subject.
