General Announcements:
March 30, 2010, Lessons Learned from the 1st Decade of BPM.
October 24, 2009, The 2nd International SOA Symposium concluded with an important historical achievement: the announcement of the SOA Manifesto. The conference hosted a series of meetings for the "SOA Manifesto Working Group". This group, comprised of SOA industry thought leaders from around the world, came together and produced an official manifesto for service-oriented architecture and service-orientation.
Visit http://www.soa-manifesto.org to view the manifesto declaration and its guiding principles. We'd like to encourage you to sign up as a signatory in order to voice your support for the the SOA Manifesto (the "Become a Signatory" form can be accessed from the homepage).
The official announcement was video recorded and posted on YouTube:

Members of OASIS, OMG, and The Open Group announce the publication of a new white paper, "Navigating the SOA Open Standards Landscape Around Architecture." The paper was produced to help the SOA community at large navigate the myriad of overlapping technical products produced by these organizations with specific emphasis on the 'A' in SOA; i.e., Architecture.
This joint white paper explains and positions standards for SOA reference models, ontologies, reference architectures, maturity models, modeling languages, and governance. It outlines where the works are similar, highlights the strengths of each body of work, and touches on how the work can be used together in complementary ways. It is also meant as a guide to users of these specifications for selecting the technical products most appropriate for their needs, consistent with where they are today and where they plan to head on their SOA journeys.
"We recognize the value of cooperative, inter-organizational SOA standards development," said Duane Nickull of Adobe, chair of the OASIS SOA Reference Model Technical Committee. "The SOA paradigm is huge, and there is much work to be done. Coordination between groups ensures that related SOA standards will work together without unnecessary overlap, contradiction or redundancy."
"This paper is an excellent start to reducing the confusion about SOA standards that there has been in the market place, by explaining the relative positions of the architecture-related SOA standards of OASIS, the OMG and The Open Group," said Dr. Chris Harding, Forum Director for SOA and Semantic Interoperability, The Open Group. It is the result of excellent and effective co-operation between the three bodies, which we hope and expect will continue."
"SOA is strategic for enabling the agile creation and integration of business applications at IBM." said Jim Amsden of IBM, co-chair of the OMG Analysis and Design Task Force and co-chair of the OMG SoaML Finalization Task Force and one of the authors of the OMG SoaML standard. "Standards provide the foundation for interoperability and integration needed to achieve success with SOA. The positioning of these standards helps minimize fragmentation and confusion in the SOA market. This paper also provides a context in which to collaboratively evolve the standards leading to better supporting products and best practices. We encourage the continuing collaboration between OMG, the Open Group and OASIS to help achieve the SOA value proposition."
The white paper, "Navigating the SOA Open Standards Landscape Around Architecture," is published on the web sites of all three organizations:

OMG - http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/doc?ad/2009-06-03

Wiki Tutorial
Mindtouch Deki Wiki User Manual: Wiki and PDF Formats.
Also see Architecture and Features (complete with Demo Video Gallery) for more information.
Here are some tips on getting started with this wiki:
Contribute content
Create mashups
Deki supports boatloads of extensions - these are little features which allow you to embed content from other websites. For example, you can embed Google Maps, Windows Live Maps, AND Yahoo! Maps, all on the same page. You can also dynamically manipulate images using our ImageMagick extension.There's so much you can do, so learn all about available extensions in your Deki by clicking the "Extensions List" tab (when the editor loads), or by viewing the Extensions page at the MindTouch Developer Center.
