    I've been having very early initial conversations with Pamela Fox about doing a Google Wave development hackathon here in Bangkok. If you don't know what it is I encourage you to sit through this video and think about the possibilities: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_UyVmITiYQ . It is basically a real-time asynchronous collaboration api/protocol built on top of jabber/xmpp. The application Google has built on top of it for now is sort of a combination of gmail/groups/gtalk with integration with any web-api (like maps) and bots (a remote spelling checker service). Behind the scenes is a powerful "document" sharing tool with multi-user transactional management. Fortunately it's all wrapped by a fairly simple set of apis in multiple languages (javascript, python, i think ruby & java included).

    This is something we'd like to make happen soon (within a few weeks) and hold it on a weekend as a sprint/hackathon. I'd like to see how many people are interested before settling the where & when. Attendees would have to register ahead of time because google will only create wave accounts in batch right now so I will have to send emails of registrants early so they will be active for the fest.

    Please let me know your interest in participating, what technologies you'd want to use, and any ideas of something you'd like to develop and I will co-ordinate the rest. I can get my team to provide infrastructure support like svn server, and built bot CI environment, or other services we'd want to help support a group effort.

  thanx!

That is correct. Actual heads down coding and demonstrate stuff at the end hack-a-thon. Will try to arrange an initial demo/tutorial of apis to kick it off but then expect teams to break up into sprints and do something with it. not like the last one.

sounds super exciting, specially to have a look into wave at this
early point.
but to be realistic, i would be quite redundant with my php skills.
better leave a seat to someone with real skills who can make more out
of it.

what i had in mind was some sort of code syntax highlighting /
checking bot, or some bot that uploads/downlaods files from a server
to a collaborative working environment in a wave.
if that makes sense at all

anyway, great idea.

Wicked.. thanks for arranging this Ben. I think every developer on
this planet who saw the wave demo and realized how this would change
the way we work is chomping at the bit to get involved. Now wave is
coming to Bangkok.. life is good.

+3 for me, Punneng, and A.

Ideas..

Integrating with dropbox or dropio. So each wave can have a folder and
files are synced back and forth. This would allow people do add files
to a wave by just dropping them in the folder.

Using flash to add peer to peer video collaboration / screen sharing
using cocomo. Rather than streaming video via a central server this
allows flash clients to form a peer to peer network and stream over
UDP. We tested it and it results in improved video and audio quality.
I think if people are in the same office it doesn't even leave your
local network. Handy for communicating between rooms.

Can't wait.. brain is already buzzin at the thought.

Hope to attend. Am a developer of Moodle (http://moodle.org).
Interested in how it can be used in Moodle web sites and interested in
embedding learning interactions.
