SIF Specification Development Coming to Bloomington, IL

Next week Integrity is hosting a SIFA Developer's Camp in Bloomington, IL. SIFA Developer's Camps focus primarily on the work of evolving the SIF specification. Some of the groundwork for the next major release of the specification was done at the board retreat in Columbus, OH in late 2007. The Bloomington meetings will focus on moving that work forward.
It is an important time for SIF as we leverage our proven Infrastructure in the field while actively looking for ways to incorporate other standards-based technologies, like Web Services, into the body of standards that the Association defines. We may diverge on this in the short term, but in the long run (over the next 5-7 years?) I believe we will end up with a unified architecture that incorporates the best pieces we have today with the best of "the rest of the world."
I would like to extend a warm welcome to anyone out there reading this who will be coming in for the Developer's Camp next week!
