Web Services Developer Center: Web Services Protocol Workshops: "Web Services Protocol Workshops
Web Services Protocol Workshops (Workshops) are events that you can attend to learn about and give feedback on advanced Web Services protocol specifications (WS-* specs).
There are two types of Workshops: Feedback and Interop. In Feedback Workshops, the authors of a specification discuss the content of the specification and solicit feedback from attendees. In Interop Workshops, companies with implementations of a particular Web Service specification come together to test the interoperability of their implementations with others.
Although all companies (end users and vendors alike) are welcome to attend any Workshop, Interop Workshops are hands-on events primarily aimed at developers who are implementing specifications."
