Not long ago I stumbled onto an interesting conversation in the Oracle blogosphere that focused on SOA governance. What made that conversation particularly interesting was that the two people doing the talking, so to speak, represented somewhat different corners of the Oracle architect community. Their initial blog-driven interaction turned out to be the genesis of a collaboration on an article that will appear later this year in SOA Magazine.
Those bloggers – Mike van Alst, and Dave Berry -- are my guests on the latest OTN Arch2Arch Podcast (Listen), part one of a two-part program.
