[News.eclipse.foundation] Proposal to start an Eclipse SOA Industry Work

[Donald Smith <donald.smith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eclipse Community,

A proposal has been made to establish an Eclipse SOA Industry Working Group [1].  The goal of the Eclipse SOA Industry Working Group (to be referred to as the "Eclipse SOA Initiative") will be to define, implement and promote a common Equinox-based SOA platform including both design time and runtime components.    SOPERA, Progress Software, Obeo, Itemis and SoftwareAG have all expressed interest in participating this industry working group.

The proposed charter [1]  for this working group is available for review.   If you have any comments or feedback on the proposed charter, please send to mailto:soa-iwg@xxxxxxxxxxxx  Members of the Eclipse Foundation are invited to join and participate in this working group.  If you are interested, please send an e-mail to the mailing list mailto:soa-iwg@xxxxxxxxxxxx    Based on the feedback and level of interest, the working group will be officially created sometime in mid-September, 2009.

Please feel free to contact myself, Ricco Deutscher, Oisin Hurley or the mailto:soa-iwg@xxxxxxxxxxx mailing list if you have any questions.
