Hey Shindig folks, ApacheCon EU is a few weeks away, and, as discussed before on the list, we're going to have a Shindig birds of a feather session.
I've flipped the confirmed bit to "yes," and selected the time of Wednesday, April 9, 20:30 - 21:30, in Matterhorn 3 (as per http://wiki.apache.org/apachecon/BirdsOfaFeatherEu08 ) I know Cassie Doll, John "Fargo" Hjelmstad, Chris Chabot and I are planning to be there. Is anyone else coming from shindig-dev? It would be great to meet in person. In terms of an abstract for http://www.eu.apachecon.com/eu2008/about/BOFs, I am proposing we list: Shindig is a new project in the Apache incubator that is becoming the reference implementation for OpenSocial and gadgets infrastructure. This project aims to make it easy for a new social website to become a "container" for OpenSocial applications, and is making rapid progress. Come learn about the project's infrastructure, see a demo, and find out how to get involved. Q&A welcome. I'd like to send in an abstract to [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Monday or Tuesday, so there is a week's notice. I'm imagining the flow would go as follows: Dan Peterson -- Intro to OpenSocial/gadgets/Shindig -- Brief project history John "Fargo" Hjelmstad -- Walk through the Java Gadget Server rendering process Cassie Doll -- Walk through the JavaScript sample container -- Describe how to connect backends to the OpenSocial API -- Demo Chris Chabot -- Walk through the PHP server design Q&A Any suggestions or improvements? Cheers, -Dan
