I’m on my way home from France, having attended a very successful WSDL 2.0 Interop Event, in which we made dramatic progress in completing the test suite infrastructure, running tests of various sorts, fixing bugs in implementations, and even debating some ambiguities in the spec.  Everyone worked incredibly hard (often into the wee hours - 4AM was my best[worst]), and the accomplishments are impressive.  Merci boucoup to all who attended and worked so hard!  Final victory is within sight…

But besides the nearly round-the-clock hack-a-thon, we did take a bit of time out to enjoy the local attractions - a nighttime tour of Mont Saint Michel, crepes and a walk around the old town of Saint Malo, an over-abundance of excellent meals, and even a few rounds of Werewolf.  Pictures are available here.
