A Conversation with Graham Glass. Graham Glass, the chairman and chief architect of Addison, Texas-based The Mind Electric was formerly CTO and co-founder of ObjectSpace. InfoWorld Test Center Lead Analyst Jon Udell asked Glass about GLUE, TME's popular, Java-oriented Web services engine, and GAIA, a forthcoming product that aims to simplify the deployment and management of large-scale systems comprising many SOAP endpoints.

GAIA sounds like a really interesting idea - improving SOAP conversations by inserting itself into them as an intermediary. I am particularly intrigued when Graham Glass refers to it as "biological". The application nodes have the ability to "decide" how much data it will cache.

IBM, SuSE Notch Another Linux Win. In another European Linux win for IBM and SuSE Linux A.G., the Kommunales Rechenzentrum Niederrhein (KRZN), a public sector data center serving more than 60 counties in the northwestern section of Germany, has chosen to run Linux on IBM zSeries mainframes. [Technology News from eWEEK and Ziff Davis]
Go baby, go. I must admit, I'm a little surprised by this -- running Linux on a mainframe in a production environment. However, it's another big win and it spreads the love. It's all good.

Sounds like IBM is componentizing Notes and Domino to be J2EE components. But, I may be reading too much in to the article.
