Day 1 at the SOA conference

We are at the Microsoft SOA conference in Redmond , we have been meeting up with old friends and bumping into people who only exist on our bookshelves in the office. Compared to the last time I was here there is a LOT more interest in BizTalk and SOA. We have see running versions of Oslo Microsoft's vision of beyond BizTalk 2006 R2 and it is a very significant vision at that. I will be blogging more on OSLO over the next few months.

A view of Kodiak in the afternoon for an excellent presentation on SOA governance.

Over lunch I had a meeting in Building 34 with the doc team for connected systems and while passing through one of the kitchens I happened to pick up a couple of

Mountain Dew Halo3 special edition Game Fuel Caffeine Delivery systems. The conference center doesn't have any so it looks like our developers will have to fight it out for just the two cans , can you spell death match :)
