PAUL OSMAN
@paulosman (Freshbooks) api nerd
http://www.freshbooks.com/
-webhooks used
-trying to use more open standards/specs in his workplace
Paul divided his talk into 4 types of OpenSource emerging streams:
1. Identity:
Oauth wrap _ stop gap to address use cases (separate auth and
protective rewrap)
Oauth will take use cases from wrap (to release oauth2.0)
salmon protocol
*swim comments/content back to origin activity streams
*standards to address "what have I done/doing"
2. Representation:
universally formats
xml -eg
portable contacts - standard json and xml piggy back on oauth
standard query parameters
microformats - solutions for representation
(less heavy than semantic web -owl)
semantic web for mortals (micro)
access/aggregation/contacts/content filtering
3. Discovery
hammer stack
*what services are related
where should I look for info
webfinger
host-meta
lrdd
/well-know
web linking
4. Notifications
realtime web
web socket. comet
software that can notify you instead, no api call
webhooks are a solution - so simple you'll think it is stupid
provide service via api or interface
jailbreak apps - like this
pubsubhubub -piggy back on webhooks. solves the are we there yet
problem , pushing content
issues: chasm of death - open id problem

livejournal people*)), google supports, support atom bit of info,

James Walker
Thanks to everyone who came out. It was so exciting to see so much
interest in OpenWeb tech without having to hop a flight to SFO! :-)
For those interested in StatusNet and/or the code I was demoing, we
officially released StatusNet 0.9.0 yesterday (yup, I still haven't
slept). You can grab the code from here:
Totally looking forward to future meetups!
James

My sentiments exactly :-) One of the things that motivated me to get this going was attending a conference in Mountain View and seeing how often people were getting together to discuss this stuff. I knew we could do the same in YYZ :)
Cheers,
Paul
