OpenSocial apps will go live to Orkut users in the last week of February. To launch your app on Orkut you need to have it pass a review by the Orkut Team, so be sure to use these best practices to build a successful app.
To help get your apps up to snuff, we'll be opening our doors here in Mountain View so you can get real time technical support and face-to-face feedback on the user experience of your app. Orkut Product Managers and Engineers will be on hand to review your application and add it to the initial Orkut application directory.
Swing by the Googleplex and you'll have access to:
- Workspace, power, and internet access.
- Introductory materials and training.
- Googlers working on OpenSocial and Orkut who can answer your questions.
- Advice on how to polish your applications to get into the Orkut directory for launch.
- A free lunch (they do exist!).
These all-day "hackathons" will be on February 7-8 and February 14-15 at the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA. If you're on the east coast, you can attend via video conference from our New York City office. There are limited seats available - reserve your spot by sending your name and preferred date and location to hackathon.rsvp@gmail.com. If you've already got an OpenSocial application, include the URL of your gadget spec and we'll check it out before the hackathons.
We're pushing OpenSocial v0.7 to sandbox.orkut.com tonight. This is the same environment that will go live to 50M+ users worldwide. Check out the release notes for v0.7 and the updated OpenSocial Spec.
Hope to see you here!

when does it go live to all networks?
You didnt mean anything about an online application submission, specially for distant developers. This would be needed before the launch! There is no reason to accept only local applications to the launch directory, is it?
Hi Thiago,
Yes, we are now live with an online application submission form, so
that anyone can submit. Please see

Hope this helps,

Hi,
I received access to sandbox.orkut.com under the email address anurag.phadke@gmail.com on 4th November. However, the "Add Applications" link still doesn't show up in my profile. Any help?
Hi Anurag,
Try to access this url directly: http://sandbox.orkut.com/MyApps.aspx
There is a bug that makes some accounts dont show the link you want. You can find more info on the opensocial-orkut Google group.
Thank you
