Room bloggers Sean Boiling, Richard Ward, and Mervin Chaing bring their in-the-trenches perspective to the conversation once again in this week’s edition of the OTN ArchBeat Podcast. Listen.

(Missed last week? No problemo: Listen to Part 1)

In this segment the conversation turns to SOA governance and balancing the need for reuse against the need for speed.  It’s no mystery that many people react to the term “SOA Governance” in much the same way as they would to the sound of Darth Vader’s respirator. But Mervin explains how a simple change in terminology can go a long way toward lowering blood pressure.

And you’ll find the complete list of the Red Room SOA Best Practice Posts in last week’s show notes.

The third and final segment of the Red Room series runs next week.  I have enough material from the original interview for a fourth program,  but it’ll have to wait.

Also, as mentioned last week, the podcast name change is now complete, from Arch2Arch, to ArchBeat.

As WPBH-TV9 weatherman Phil Connors says, “Anything different is good.”
