Federated Social Web Summit
On 18th July, there was the Federated Social Web Summit taking place in Portland. This was an invite-only event for tech geeks involved in a lot of open technologies that I still owe you to explain. While I haven’t been there, I would like to link the coverage of this event on the blogs for you to read, if you are as curious as myself about it:
- Ivan Pulleyn from Janrain writes “Mapping the Future of the Social Web”. It’s a beautifully written piece centering around a story that was the background to the event: What is the piece of data we exchange when we want to connect with a person we meet? Is it phone, email, IM or something completely different?! Exciting question.
- Evan Prodromou writes his “Federated Social Web Summit Wrapup” on the status.net blog. It’s a detailled description of all things going on on this event along with conclusion and future plans. A good summary!
- Finally, David Recordon writes a short piece called “Standards are best served second” in which he states that all the technologies like OpenID, OAuth, ActivityStreams, Salmon etc. are not a means of its own but the important thing is to find the use cases and then develop technology for it.
Did I miss anything interesting?!
