Hippo speaks at the first European OpenSocial event in The Netherlands
06 December, 2010 - 07 December, 2010
The OpenSocial Foundation and SURFnet are excited to announce the OpenSocial Europe Summit and OpenSocial in Education Industry Spotlight event, to be held in Utrecht, the Netherlands, on Monday, Dec. 6 and Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2010.
The event will focus on the use of the OpenSocial, its technologies and
implementations, and will have a special concentration on the use of OpenSocial
in Research and Education. This two day event is the first OpenSocial Summit
held in Europe, and the first to include an industry specific spotlight.
Day one will feature prominent speakers from the OpenSocial community who will
present and demonstrate the nuts and bolts of the specification, including
what's new in version 1.1, best practices for building social applications, and
the emerging use of OpenSocial within the Enterprise. There will also be
technical sessions on understanding Apache Shindig, the open source reference
framework for OpenSocial. The first day will conclude with a broad outline of
where the community is heading with future releases and a call to action to get
involved.
The second day is dedicated to the use of OpenSocial in Research and Education.
This will consist of both interactive workshops and presentations. Several
industry experts from the Research and Educational sector will discuss their
experiences using OpenSocial in their solutions. For example, SURFnet will
present its project on implementing a new Collaboration Infrastructure and will
demonstrate how OpenSocial plays an important role in this infrastructure by it
enabling group centric collaboration in an open, platform independent way.
