  2. Community of Practice • The process of social learning that occurs when people who have a common interest in some subject or problem collaborate over an extended period to share ideas, find solutions, and build innovations. • From Wikipedia at: • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_of_practice • CIOC Communities of Practice: • From CIO Council at: • http://cio.gov/index.cfm?function=communities

  3. Service Oriented Architecture • A software architecture that defines the use of loosely coupled software services to support the requirements of business processes and software users. Resources on a network in an SOA environment are made available as independent services that can be accessed without knowledge of their underlying platform implementation. • From Wikipedia at: • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service-oriented_architecture

  4. “Why Is SOA Hot in Government?” • “Brand Niemann was instrumental in organizing two SOA conferences for federal practitioners in 2006, and he sees the responsibility for SOA coordination and governance moving to the EA community:” • “The Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) focuses on the [Office of Management and Budget] OMB budget process and project management while SOA is the actual modeling of complex IT and governance environments like [General Services Administration] GSA is doing for the financial management line of business (LoB). Both are needed and can be complementary and the SOA community of practice (CoP) is about ‘dynamic partnering’ in support of the LoBs, the new Federal Transition Framework (FTF), and the new Data Reference Model 2.0 Management Strategy.

  5. “Why Is SOA Hot in Government?” • Continued: • More and more, the answer is SOA. We’ve heard about pilots, successes, and failures, and now, everyone is recognizing it as the way to go. All EA meetings seem to be about SOA, especially SOA governance: SOA is bubbling up all around the architects, so they’re figuring it’s their role to govern and coordinate the activity. The rapid success of the SOA community of practice is an indicator that there has been pent-up demand for sharing best practices about SOA — we had to cap registration at the first ‘SOA for E-Government’ Conference in May 2006 at 200, we added extra space for the October conference and we filled that up at 320 registrants.” • Source: December 12, 2006, Why Is SOA Hot In Government?, by Gene Leganza, Forrester Research, page 3. • http://www.forrester.com/Research/Document/Excerpt/0,7211,40673,00.html

  6. SOA CoP • Bringing Together: • Global Information Grid (W2COG and GIGLite) • W3C (Workshops on Web of Services for Enterprise Computing and and Web Technologies for E-Government) • SOA Consortium and SOA Alliance (SOA Practitioners Guide) • Shared Services CoP (Harvard’s Leadership for a Networked World Program) • Custom, Proprietary, Open-Source or Community-Source Software (see next slide) • At the 3rd SOA for E-Government Conference, May 1-2, 2007, at MITRE, McLean, Virginia: • Register at: http://www.mitre.org/register/soa/ • Google: SOA for E-Government 2007

  7. When to Use Custom, Proprietary, Open-Source or Community-Source Software • Public-sector IT organizations (and government in particular) are in a unique position to consider community-source solutions — built by a tightly knit cluster of similar organizations — to address some of their application requirements. • Source: Andrea Di Maio, Gartner Research, Publication Date: 16 February 2007 ID Number: G00146202. • Community source describes a model for the purposeful coordination of work in a community. It is based on many of the principles of open-source development efforts, but community source efforts rely more explicitly on defined roles, responsibilities and funded commitments by community members than some open-source development models. • Source: http://www.sakaiproject.org

  8. Webcasts Schedule • March 1, 2007, 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET - Is Your Agency Ready for Open Source SOA?: • Eric Newcomer, CTO, IONA, on how you can leverage open source within the Federal enterprise.

Understand how weather agencies are making the move to open source today. • TBD: IONA’s Jump Start Program: • Michelle Davis, IONA, on their solution to Open Source SOA. Find  out how you can  extend the open source  portfolio within the Federal enterprise. IONA  discusses a unique approach to open source distributed SOA infrastructure that allows you to leverage existing assets, streamline and modernize while recognizing increased ROI. IONA will be highlighting CeltixEnterprise, their flagship open source SOA infrastructure and how it can be used to achieve agility and interoperability within your systems.  • Topics will include: Open Source SOA and Celtix 101 (what is Celtix and Jumpstart, its components, feature/function, extension and futures)
