Federating Social Networks

1 Mar 2008
2 Mar 2008

The technical and organizational challenges of portable social networks are daunting but the promises are great! Finally we'll be using one profile to interact with people and documents in a network of federated communities.

This is the follow-up event for the Federating Social Networks workshop (Dec. 2007). We will show progress on the roadmap that was layed out at the FSN workshop and determine what is still to be done. And there will be discussions and presentations, and work on getting implementations going.
