I still *might* go to Amsterdam for the Apachecon-us-2008 planning meeting Saturday after ApacheCON, but it looks very unlikely as of now. > 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.
