New Date: #OpenWebTO: Salmon Protocol

[Paul Osman]

Hi Everyone,

We now have a new date for the presentation James Walker has agreed to give on the Salmon Protocol. We're now meeting on Monday, September 20th at 7pm at the CSI. Details are on the new Gueslist event page:

If you've ever wondered how to make comments and other content swim up to their source, come out and be dazzled by the open protocol goodness :)

From the protocol summary:

"Conversations are becoming distributed and fragmented on the Web. Content is increasingly syndicated and re-aggregated beyond its original context. Technologies such as RSS, Atom, and PubSubHubbub allow for a real time flow of updates to readers, but this leads to a fragmentation of conversations. The comments, ratings, and annotations increasingly happen at the aggregator and are invisible to the original source.

The Salmon Protocol is an open, simple, standards-based solution that lets aggregators and sources unify the conversations. It focuses initially on public conversations around public content."

 

Cheers,
Paul
