I am off to attend Indigo Day early next week in San Francisco. I hope to blog the various talks and get a couple a questions answered too.

• MTOM and XOP Reach Rec Status - The future of DIME and SwA has officially ended. Unfortunately, the binary infoset's future is just beginning. .

• MEST Permathread -  A pretty interesting thread is currently occurring around MEST and its role in producing loosely coupled services. Let's see if I know what is really behind the MEST curtain. So MEST is an attempt, and a very good one at that, to define the exchange of Messages on the wire as the real truth in a distributed world. It acknowledges the fact that all state should be inferred from the Message and that the exchange of these Messages should occur through many different exchange patterns and not just the infamous request/response pattern. So what the hell is ProcessMessage? ProcessMessage just happens to be the mailbox. Nothing more. Nothing less.
• Painting the Indigo Picture - Yet another overview of Indigo. Ari Bixhorn also declares there will not be support on the compact framework in V1 and talks about writing a very reliable, secure and transacted Hello World app in a couple of lines on the Indigo platform. Good... I was kind of worried about the effort behind the port of my existing "Hello World" app to Indigo.

• The Java View of SOA - Are you interested in what SOA may look like from a Java geek's POV? Me neither.. but for the certain rare individual who does care, go check it out.
