Oxygen, webservices and Opensource

[Jack]

I have some questions for the list.

Does anyone know anything about the folks
at WSO (wso.org and .com)? Are these guys really
opensource people or what?

Are there any shops around town doing reasonable 
rates training in IT skills, especially related to
OSS?

Anyone doing any webservices in Linux using
WSDL 2, DIME (obsolete), MTOM? And why does
debian include php-net-dime but there isn't
and equivalent php-net-mtom?

For those people like me who hate all the @#$!!@
abbreviations used today.

WSDL = Web Services Definition Language 
MTOM = SOAP Message Transmission Optimization
Mechanism
DIME = an abondoned MS supported standard which MTOM
has superceded.
