Tim responds to Hugh's Remarks on the bloggertool he wrote for the Rotterdam Conference. They had some good discussions on this weekend and the discussion now continues on both their weblogs. Also thanks to John Burkhardts description of Groove's edge services.

Dana gardner in a article in Infoworld: Groove bakes SOAP server "Groove is very much aligned with .Net. It could also be construed as a Web service if you deliver it through SOAP and you can do these ad hoc dynamic collaborative environments as a Web service rather than as a deployed server-based function. I would say the Groove plus .Net gets a lot closer to the collaborative power of groupware and Domino than does .Net without Groove"

Just got out of a long sleep after being on a roll for 72 hours with the Groove Conference. This has been a very fruitfull and inspiring event and i've never seen so much talent and dedication in one spot. Hugh allready did explain a bit why there haven't been a lot of reports put on the web during the conference but the main reason was that everybody was just to busy communicating with eachother instead of putting communicating with the rest of the world. It was a great thing to see all these innovating minds coming from Canada, India, US, UK, Schotland, Switserland etc. etc. travelling to Rotterdam to talk meet, eat, work, discuss and drink Groove and allready good things are coming out of this event. The nice thing about Groove is that everybody at the conference allready had long and almost intimate working relationsships established using Groove , knowing about eachothers backgrounds, works, habits and humor. So the moment everybody arrived and met in reallife, the conversations were immediatly productive and there was an instant atmosphere of being around a bunch of old friends.
