WSO2 has done some serious stuff, and some big names are in their profile. The biggest of all is eBay.
eBay uses Open Source WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) for more than 1 billion transactions per day ! That is roughly $2000 worth of transactions per each second.

WSO2 got an idea for a conference when they did a workshop in 2009 targeting 50. It ended up with 150. Then in 2010 they had the first con attracting 250, for 2 days. This time it is bigger, global and grandeur. The event spans a week including tutorial sessions.
The conference has 5 themes: Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) platform, Cloud, Enterprise solutions, eGovernment & Banking and Finance.
Techy as may it sound, but what I loved most about the con was the keynotes.
1. WSO2: Disrupting the middleware industry - Dr.Sanjiva Weerawarana, Chairman, Founder & CEO, WSO2
2. The Global technology outlook - Dr. C Mohan, IBM fellow
3. Service Orientation and why it's good for your business - Sastry Malladi, Distinguished Architect, eBay.
These keynotes addressed the technology frontiers that will shape the future of our planet.
Here are some startling facts and observations:
- There were 7 billion connected devices (mobiles, tablets, pads etc) in 2010. By 2020 there will be an amazing 50 billion !
- In the arena of customer retention, the big analytic is playing a huge role
- while it is convenient to connect everything, it also allows everyone to get in, making security a challenge.
- Wireless play a key role where infrastructure is not much developed
- Growing countries can learn from the Western societies and generate less garbage and better energy consumption
