Hello,

Oltu came to my attention this morning and I’ve just had the chance to read 
through the documentation.

I’m on the PPMC of Podling Streams - http://streams.incubator.apache.org . Your 
project is interesting to me and I just wanted to say hello and start a dialog.

Apache Streams (incubating) unifies a diverse world of digital profiles and 
online activities into common formats and vocabularies, and makes these 
datasets accessible across a variety of databases, devices, and platforms for 
streaming, browsing, search, sharing, and analytics use-cases.

To date each of our streams provider modules - currently including twitter, 
facebook, instagram, google plus, youtube, and more - have separately relied on 
third-party libraries such as twitter4j, instagram4j, etc… to establish 
authenticated connections and retrieve data programmatically from these 
sources.  

I’m interested in trying out a new approach, where the code to authenticate and 
connect up to these services via rest API is primarily (perhaps entirely) 
Apache Foundation code.  If we go this route, Oltu could be an important 
supporting component for oauth.

Is anyone interested here in doing a proof-of-concept switching a Streams 
module to use oltu oauth2, and/or discuss adding all Streams-supported services 
to Oltu, and vice-versa?

Best,
Steve
