BPEL 2.0 is going to be approved by OASIS at the end of this month. This is a good white paper by Oracle that I suggest you to read. I good open source suite that supports BPEL 2.0 from early draft is Intalio I have already downloaded the previous versions and given it a try. Now I am downloading the last version (Designer 5.0) to play around with it. I'll send couple of post later related to this product.
The main thing that we should look when we are evaluating BPEL 2.0 is to see if it supports workflows as well or it just another good tool for integration between services. However BPEL has proven itself as the future of integration between services and software but there are still some doubts about using it as a workflow engine. Ismael discuss this issue in more detail in his post.
Ismael also believes the other advantage of going after BPEL standard is to reduce the number of conversions from different languages that support business process modeling and execution.
