Updates about the OpenSocial ecosystem at Google developer days Munich, including presentations from Xing, Lokalisten, netlog and Viadeo.. OpenSocial is an open specification defining a common API that works on many different social websites, including MySpace, Plaxo, Hi5, Ning, orkut, Friendster Salesforce.com and LinkedIn, among others. This allows developers to learn one API, then write a social application for any of those sites: Learn once, write anywhere. In addition, in order to make it easier for developers of social sites to implement the API and make their site an OpenSocial container, the Apache project Shindig provides reference implementations for OpenSocial containers in two languages (Java, PHP). Shindig will define a language specific Service Provider Interface (SPI) that a social site can implement to connect Shindig to People, Persistence and Activities backend services for the social site. Shindig will then expose these services as OpenSocial JavaScript and REST APIs. In this session we will explain what OpenSocial is, show examples of OpenSocial containers and applications, demonstrate how to create an OpenSocial application, and explain how to leverage Apache Shindig in order to implement an OpenSocial container.

see http://jaoo.dk/presentation/OpenSocial%2C+a+Standard+for+the+Social+Web OpenSocial is a standard for the social web managed by the OpenSocial foundation. Introduced by 18 social sites in november 2007, after 8 months OpenSocial is available to 275 million users, 2000 applications have been developed and 10 million users are using them daily. The session will start with a status of OpenSocial after a year: the ecosystem that formed around the API: social sites, developers, advertisers, tool vendors, IT consulting firms, enterprise software vendors. For developers of social application, the OpenSocial API JavaScript and REST APIs will be described, with demos of how to build a social application using each API. For developers of social sites, or sites that want to become OpenSocial containers, the OpenSocial reference implementation is developed as an open source project, Apache Shindig, with a Java and PHP flavors. The stated goal of Shindig is to enable a social site developer to implement OpenSocial support on her site in 2 weeks. The Shindig Java architecture will be explained, followed by a demo of how to connect Shindig to a MySql backend. Various related projects will also be demoed: - Friend Connect, a Google offering enabling web sites to add social capabilities with a few lines of javascript. - Socialsite, a Sun open source project based on Shindig, enabling web sites to become social sites with their own community, using gadgets to provide a user interface to manage the network. - OpenSocket, a hosted service that allows OpenSocial applications to be deployed on Facebook.

Talk at FZI Karlsruhe about OpenSocial and Google App Engine. Titel: "Social Applications in the Cloud: OpenSocial and Google App Engine" Abstract: OpenSocial is an open specification defining a common API that works on many different social websites, including MySpace, Plaxo, Hi5, Ning, orkut, Salesforce.com and LinkedIn, among others. This allows developers to learn one API, then write a social application for any of those sites: Learn once, write anywhere. In addition, in order to make it easier for developers of social sites to implement the API and make their site an OpenSocial container, the Apache project Shindig provides reference implementations for OpenSocial containers in two languages (Java, PHP). Shindig defines a language specific Service Provider Interface (SPI) that a social site can implement to connect Shindig to People, Persistence and Activities backend services for the social site. Shindig will then expose these services as OpenSocial JavaScript and REST APIs. In this talk, we will explain what OpenSocial is, show examples of OpenSocial containers and applications, demonstrate how to create an OpenSocial application, and explain how to leverage Apache Shindig in order to implement an OpenSocial container. Simple OpenSocial applications can be built without any server side logic, leveraging the OpenSocial persistence API. For more complex applications requiring server side logic, many developers choose to use their own server. As their applications spread virally and become more successful, these developers end up spending most of their time making their applications scale instead of adding new features. Cloud computing services can provide a solution to these problems. We will explain how to build an OpenSocial application with server side business logic, on top of Google App Engine, a Cloud Computing service exposing Google's scalable infrastructure (GFS, BigTable) to developers. We will discuss how to use the Django web framework with the datastore API provided by Google App Engine to build scalable OpenSocial web applications with minimal fuss.
