Send your resume to : careers@momentumsoftware.com posted by jeff | 11:36 AM Web Services Choreography Requirements 1.0 The W3C published their "requirements" document for web services choreography: http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-ws-chor-reqs-20030812/ This just might be the biggest piece of crap that I've ever had the misfortune of reading. I'm not just saying that because I think that the W3C should get out of the business of 'business process languages' - I mean it. Seriously - look at the document. Remember it is a requirements document. I've read it twice now - for the mercy of spec readers everywhere - can someone please kill this working group??? posted by jeff | 11:05 AM The Mindreef Team Currently, I do not use the Mindreef software. I was considering using it so I checked out their home page. And, like many people, I went to the 'team' page to see if I knew any of the guys working on it. I didn't, but they had a great team picture:  Wow. These guys look like geeks. I mean that as a compliment. I am much more likely to download and use their software after previewing the team photo. This seems silly doesn't it? The fact is, we've all worked with great engineers - and generally speaking they... kind of look alike. Now, Graham Glass may be the exception to the rule:  Anyway, if you have a 'mindreef' looking team, it may be in your best interest to post the pictures :-) I'll go drink some coffee now - I'm sure I have something slighly more insightful to say than just this... posted by jeff | 7:48 AM Thursday, August 14, 2003 WSEE Anne Thomas Manes wrote a piece on a topic near & dear to me, see: http://www.sys-con.com/webservices/articleprint.cfm?id=627 The only thing she didn't do was give the set of services a name... like... uh... Web Services Enterprise Edition (WSEE). posted by jeff | 6:08 AM Monday, August 11, 2003 WS-I Basic Profile 1.0 has been approved All - I am pleased to announce that the WS-I Basic Profile 1.0 has been approved as final by the WS-I membership. Congratulations to the Working Group for a job well done. cmk posted by jeff | 8:50 AM |
