I've just found out that a series of seminars are being held to promote SCA/SDO technology from a vendor-neutral viewpoint (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/offers/techbriefings/details/scasdo.html ). Apache Tuscany is going to be used in demos.
The first 3 seminars will be in China at the end of this month. I asked and am told that other countries will be announced soon. Here are the locations that the website is advertising now.
