Learn SOA Governance from WSO2 Summer School

Another program to help the community conducting by WSO2 the 'WSO2 Summer School' is running with a very successful rate of participants and with very interactive sessions. We have completed three sessions and lot more to come.
The next summer school class scheduled for Thursday 09th July 2009 will be on the topic of 'SOA Governance'. A two hour session conducting by myself that will be discussing about the practical usage and the implementation of governance in your SOA infrastructure.
I will be looking at Governance in architects point of view and looking for a class room full of architects, BAs, consultants on the usage implementation side. This session will be useful for CIOs to look at the ROI from the SOA Governance and look at the set of information that it gives for decision making. I'm not closing the gates for others gates are open and free of charge for any one who is interested about the topic.
As I mentioned earlier this will be more a practical class room session that will be discussing a minimum amount of theory and talk about more practical content. I will be using WSO2 G-Reg as a SOA Governance product to describe the scenarios.
Based on actual customer implementation of governance I will be discussing about some good practices as well.
Lot more to come during the session so register now if you have not register yet.

Happy Birthday (40) S.J.

It is 40 but I think he can still move forward and make the 2011 WC. Sanath has recognized as the "Best Cricketer of all times".
සුබ උපන් දිනයක් , සනත්.

From the sweet memories of 2007 WC:
Play, in this beautiful game
Where the rules and aim
Remain the same
It's the game of love unity

Sending out invitations
All over the world
Every race, every class,
Every man, every girl
Whether near, whether far
Come and join in the fun
(Oh na na na)

This is it, one big game that you cannot miss
No matter who you are - everyone’s on the list
This is the game of life and we all are one
(So come along)
We run the place
We set the pace
We lead the chase
Everybody participate and…
No time to waste
Lift up the pace and celebrate
It’s our obligation
We fascinate, we captivate
Your mind, your heart, soul and
Rhythm of the nation
We play, we play
We feel the game
Come on, come on
Let me see you gyrate

Bring along all your friends
And tell them join in
Cause this game never ends
Once it begins
We will spread peace and love
For eternity
All your worries and stress
Let them all go
We won't settle for less
Cause we're all MELLO
Bring your heart and your soul and set your mind free
We will rejoice
And sound our voice
Cause we are one together
L.O.V.E. and unity,
Forever

DIL-SCOOP

T.M. Dilshan added a new cricketing shot for the cricket book during the World T20 2009, like Ajantha's carom ball commentators call it as DIL-SCOOP. What a shot.. pre-meditated but he only missed it once with 98% accuracy.
People play these kind of shots when they are in proper form, Dilshan is in his peak he did start middling the ball when Sri Lanka tour to Pakistan and during the IPL he was a big assert for DDDs.
Dilshan had a bad time before the last Australian tour and he got dropped from the one day squad. He called back again due to his performance in the domestic competition and gave the chance to open the innings with mighty SJ.
I'm sure selectors expected Dilshan to make singles and give opportunity for Sanath to bat, but the result was different runs did start falling from the both ends, and Dilshan was the architect of the big totals.
I'm blogging this while watching the semi-finals of the T20 between Windies and Sri Lanka, yet another opportunity to support Mr.President by wining the T20 cup and show how powerfull we (Srilankans) are.
Making Dilshan an opening batsman shows a good management practice, using and making asserts. Yes Dilshan was a player in the middle order for sri lanka for a long time but now he is an assert, that is the art of making skill into asserts.
