"SOA enables the agile enterprise. Oh, yes. But you can't build a business case or cost justification out of flexibility or agility, you can only build that based on resolving a business issue or issues." Yup.

James Governor: "SOA as a science project, which is exactly the wrong approach. SOA needs to be a business driver and should be piloted, rather than adopted for its own sake...involve a constructive conversation between IT and the business."

"You can create conditions and space, and you can facilitate and catalyze what happens in that space, but you can't control it. As soon as you try, you break your conditions, and you will fail." "Stay on course, not on target."

A great example using web2.0 technologies for enterprise intranets. this is the future...fresh (employee driven) content, ease of participation, and searchable employer content. think enterprise 2.0 rather than portal for intranets.

Jonathan's post on Open Sourcing Java. At the end of the conference this morning, Jonathan asked Rich Green "Will you GPL Solaris?" Sounds like there is more to come.

Java Open Source: The Questions of "How" and "When" are Answered.
In May, during the JavaOne keynote, Sun's Rich Green stated “it isn’t a question of whether, but a question of how” in respect to the open sourcing of Java. Well, today there's an answer. From Tim Bray's ongoing:
"Today’s story is simple: Unmodified GPL2 for our SE, ME, and EE code. GPL2 + Classpath exception for the SE libraries. Javac and HotSpot and JavaHelp code drops today. The libraries to follow, with pain expected fighting through the encumbrances. Governance TBD, but external committers are a design goal. No short-term changes in the TCK or JCP. There are a ton of presentations and an (excellent) FAQ and so on, all to show up at sun.com/opensource/java sometime in the next few hours."
Clicking on the sun.com/opensource/java link this morning, there's an announcement of an announcement webcast, starting today at 9:30 PST. I hope my schedule works out so I can listen in live. I imagine this news will dominate the technology conversation today, traditional tech press, blogs, business press, and, of course, enterprise hallways.
Are practitioners thinking this is a good thing? Or do you fear a fork?

I'm with Todd. SOA success depends on Enterprise Architects. That is, EA's with an actionable, business-driven mindset. Not those "disconnected from the real world...still dominated by the notion of frameworks, Zachman, TOGAF, etc."

"Situational software is clearly on the cusp of becoming a reality and for those skeptical readers in the audience, this stuff is real and it's clearly compelling."
