Open Source and SOA ! Where's the work ??

A couple of days back, I was just surfing through sourceforge.com for some projects related to Service Oriented Arch. and found it a pain to find some core projects. The blogs were filled with people asking basic doubts about SOA and it really made me realize the need to really uplift the SOA Open Source Community.

I was part of a project on upgrading the OpenUDDI Registry and adding enterprise oriented Workflow management schemes and APIs to it. And the OpenUDDI registry was really nothing less than a 'shock' as compared to those high-end enterprise Registries.

Big vendors in the market like Oracle Corps and IBM are way ahead in the Middleware Department and have left behind their Open Source Counterparts in the quality and functionality of the products.
(Ironic that these firms are the biggest contributors to Open Source !!)

I think that Middleware needs a boost and its latent potent needs to be tapped cause, Middlewares basically redefine how Business is done online !
