Open Source SOA Software Shares Microsoft Stage
,----[ Quote ]
| WSO2 showed off the results of several "technical collaboration initiatives"
| designed to extend interoperability across the Microsoft .NET Framework,
| Java, and other Web services platforms.
|
| [...]
|
| WSO2 was founded by member of the Apache Software Foundation Web services
| community, so it's no surprise that its SOA platform is based on Apache
| projects. The platform's foundation technologies consist of a Web services
| application server based on Apache Axis2, and an enterprise service bus (ESB)
| based on Apache Synapse. Both are built on the WSO2 Web Services Framework.

Microsoft Becomes An Open Source Partner...Kinda
,----[ Quote ]
| There's no word yet on what Microsoft paid to become a partner. Organisers
| say each makes some type of contribution, though some give free technical or
| legal assistance rather than cash. (Source: betanews.com)
|
| Cynics speculate that Microsoft is using its support for the survey as a
| commercial move in order to access valuable market research. But it's tough
| to protest too much given the irony of an open source survey where the
| underlying data is only available to commercial partners.
