I've been having very early initial conversations with Pamela Fox about
doing a Google Wave development hackathon here in Bangkok. If you don't know
what it is I encourage you to sit through this video and think about the
possibilities: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_UyVmITiYQ . It is basically
a real-time asynchronous collaboration api/protocol built on top of
jabber/xmpp. The application Google has built on top of it for now is sort
of a combination of gmail/groups/gtalk with integration with any web-api
(like maps) and bots (a remote spelling checker service). Behind the scenes
is a powerful "document" sharing tool with multi-user transactional
management. Fortunately it's all wrapped by a fairly simple set of apis in
multiple languages (javascript, python, i think ruby & java included).
This is something we'd like to make happen soon (within a few weeks) and
hold it on a weekend as a sprint/hackathon. I'd like to see how many people
are interested before settling the where & when. Attendees would have to
register ahead of time because google will only create wave accounts in
batch right now so I will have to send emails of registrants early so they
will be active for the fest.
Please let me know your interest in participating, what technologies
you'd want to use, and any ideas of something you'd like to develop and I
will co-ordinate the rest. I can get my team to provide infrastructure
support like svn server, and built bot CI environment, or other services
we'd want to help support a group effort.
thanx!
