Oslo is annouced to the technical community in SOA conference in OCT 2007 here in campus.
What is OSLO ?
People came from accross the world to Redmond, WA to attend the SOA Conference .I met someone from my home country in the conference and the person asked me if you have to explain whats OSLO in one line what would you say ?
Me : OSLO is major intiative of Microsoft and its a topic in itself . When we have the entire 5 days conference devoted to the same topic I dont think I can make you understand just in a sentence, you will see ...!!!
Really, Oslo is part of Microsoft's initiative to enable real world SOA ( Service Oriented Architecture ) through Microsoft Technologies. And its all about enabling to build Enterprise Business Applications in a SOA world.
