This week (May 16th - 20th) we held WS-Management interop workshop in Redmond. Indigo participated among others. Three things I liked about this workshop:
1) Atmosphere - it's all about getting things to work, very much like in old soapbuilders days, pure interop fest. Sure there are some agreements to sign to ensure that feedback provided does not limit broad availability (as one of my favorite folks at MS put “welcome to 21st century”), but everything else is very informal.
2) Presence of both software and hardware among the 13 participating implementations. This trully shows the spec is mature and is set to succeed.Interoperability rate accomplished was impressive.
3) Imagine being able to discover everything about management interfaces without having to search the web about what particular methods this resource exposes and what types it works with. Indigo will provide great development framework for the WS-Management interfaces. Add Web Reference experience, generated Indigo proxy and VS intellisense - everything you need to explore management interfaces.
