What Activity Streams event or presentation is on at SXSW 2012?

Usually, somebody organizes a meetup, which I've enjoyed attending.

Also, I see one presentation: http://schedule.sxsw.com/2012/events/event_IAP10692

Programming Social Applications
#sxsw #FutureSoc

Services like Facebook and Google+ have ingratiated themselves into
our online relationships through our social graphs. The problem is
that the methods we use for connecting to each other is so divergent
from reality, where awkward connection models become the norm. New
emerging open source initiatives are driving a new chapter of the
social web. This talk will explore the successes and failures of
online relationship and sharing models, as well as the emerging
technologies that are working to unify social interactions online,
such as the Open Graph Protocol, Activity Streams, WebFinger,
PubSubHubbub and the Salmon Protocol. As we look into these
technologies, we'll explore how cultural identity concepts like
tribalism play into how people group themselves innately online.
Through grouping and emerging social standards, we'll see how next
generation personalization techniques can be applied to user
interactions online.

Jim,

This year's SXSW Activity Streams meet-up is right after the 'Breaking
Down Walls' panel on Tuesday March 13th

http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/11746

I chose to have the meet-up then/there because the panel speakers are
either spec implementors or authors. Plus so many from this Google
Group will be attending the talk anyway!

We meet-up right after the panel ends, then walk next door to Iron
Works for beer and BBQ.

See you there!

:D

Todd
