This would be a great opportunity to showcase the current status of Tuscany. While Raymond and myself have already submitted abstracts for ApacheCon US 2009, we could probably re-arrange the contents and propose a 1/2 day track for the conference where we could discuss SCA Composition/Assembly, Enterprise Integration and Web 2.0 Integration.
Current Submitted Abstracts: - SCA, JavaEE, Spring and Web 2.0 come together - Service assembly with Apache Tuscany SCA - Tuscany: Applying OSGi Modularity after the fact Thoughts ? BTW, I have notified the ApacheCon 2009 US Planning Team of our interest, pending the contents of the track. On Tue, Apr 21, 2009 at 12:31 AM, ant elder <[email protected]> wrote: > Any interest?
