Just to be clear .. its not only me. Paul Fremantle, co-founder and VP of Technical Sales, is currently chair of the WS-RX TC of OASIS. Jonathan Marsh, Director of Mashup Technologies, is chair of the WS-Description WG of W3C. We're OASIS and W3C members and participate in the SX TC, in WS-Policy (in fact we had the only implementations (2) of WS-Policy for WSDL 2.0), WS-Addressing and other groups. We have no agenda to push in the standards other than that they be implementable in open source. > Although I'm not too keen about the fact that he used this list to > promote his company, he has a point. Project Tango/WSIT is Sun's The only reason I brought it up is because Tango is a Sun product and hence I was only pointing out that that's not the only game in town for Java Web services, quite contrary to some of the marketing around it. Its simply just yet another Java impl of some WS-* specs. In any case, if I crossed the line of proper etiquette, I apologize. Won't happen again.
