OpenSocial Summit: May 14th, at the Googleplex

Posted by Dan Peterson, Product Manager

On Wednesday, May 14th, we're hosting an OpenSocial Summit at the Googleplex (1400 Crittenden Lane) in Mountain View.

There has been a lot happening with OpenSocial since the last event at Six Apart in San Francisco, and we're eager to get folks together to talk about experiences so far, and brainstorm about the future. The main topics for the summit include:

• Discuss the proposed OpenSocial v0.8 spec


• Review the state of the OpenSocial RESTful API


• Discuss the design for an OpenSocial Templating language


• Brainstorm ideas for future iterations of the OpenSocial spec


• Updates from containers such as hi5, iGoogle, MySpace, and orkut

In addition, there will be several breakout sessions on topics such as:

• App building best practices


• Security: OAuth and Caja


• Shindig


• and several other topics

Of course, there will also be a good environment for coding, and people around to help. In addition, we'll walk through a tutorial for those just getting started.

If you have OpenSocial questions, this is a great place to ask. The summit will start at 10am; food, drinks, and wifi will be provided.

Please RSVP for the summit!
