W3C's WSEC @ Boston / Communism
The Workshop on Web of Services for Enterprise Computing got off to a great start with a lot of familiar faces (Steve Vinoski, Mark Nottingham, Dave Orchard, Noah Mendelsohn, Rich Salz, Glen Daniels, Chris Ferris, Paul Downey, Hugo Haas, Philippe Le Hégaret, Eric Newcomer etc and a few new faces (for me!) - Mark Baker. Unfortunately i missed the afternoon session for my Citizenship test and will miss tomorrow because of a customer engagement. Hopefully Jonathan Marsh and Glen Daniels will hold down the fort tomorrow :)
One question asked by the DHS officer threw me off for a second..."Were you ever a member of a communist party"? Throw back from the McCarthy days is my guess. Towards the end, the DHS officer had trouble with his desktop when searching for a location, i took a peek at the monitor and saw an extra comma in the search field ("Boston,") and we had a good laugh about it as i told him what i did for a living.
