Title: Copenhagen photos

Below are some of my photos from my trip to the Open Source Days conference conference in Copenhagen. I only had a little time to explore Copenhagen, but I managed to see a lot of the city. I took a number of very long walks and explored most of the downtown and the Christiana area.

As you can see from the photos, the city is beautiful with lots of big squares, pedestrian-only streets, canals and beautiful architecture. The mass transit system is great and you see a lot of folks getting around by pedal power; I wish my city was so bicycle friendly. At the conference and in my travels around the city, I found that the people are very friendly and eager to be helpful. All in all, a very nice experience and I hope it's not too long before I get to visit again.

Title: Project SocialSite Webinar, Thursday at 11:15am PT

If you want to learn more about SocialSite, here's your chance. I'll be doing a SocialSite webinar tomorrow (Thursday, Oct. 9) at 11:15am PT. Here's the summary.

Project SocialSite is taking a new approach to social networking. Instead of replacing your existing web site with a Social Networking system, SocialSite allows you make your existing blogs, wikis, forums and portals social and all backed by the same Social Graph of users. It doesn't matter whether your existing applications are Java, Ruby, PHP or blog/CMS template driven, you can easily add the SocialSite Widgets and and give your users a complete Social Networking experience right in the pages of your existing site. You'll be able to provide Personal Profile and Group Profile pages, a Dashboard for your users to manage their groups and connections and allow your users to install standard OpenSocial Gadgets that operate against their network of friends. Your applications can manage the social graph via the SocialSite web services and via standard OpenSocial Gadget technology.

In this webinar we'll explain the reasoning behind Project SocialSite, the basics of OpenSocial and what SocialSite adds, the SocialSite architecture and its Widgets and Web Services.

You can find the dial-in details on wikis.sun.com.

Title: Open Source Days 2008 - Copenhagen

My talk went pretty well yesterday and I'm definitely enjoying both the conference, which is still in progress, and my stay in Copenhagen. I'll post more photos later, but for now here is a shot of the conference setup at ITU Copenhagen.

Title: Project SocialSite (and yours truly) on the LiveMink blog

I'm just gonna steal this straight from Simon's blog 'cause I'm lazy.

Simon Phipps: I got the chance to speak with Dave Johnson last week and catch up on his work building Project SocialSite, a social graph framework exposed as widgets and web services for use by websites wanting to build collaborative communities. Both technically interesting and destined to be an important part of the social media scene, I'll be looking forward to seeing SocialSite in action.
