Hello everybody,

there must be a first message, so here it is. Maybe we can use this
thread to introduce ourselves.

Let's begin then. I am a 22 year old software engineer at Moodstocks
SAS (http://www.moodstocks.com). I specialized in distributed systems
(so I have experience with doing "impossible" things such as writing
WSDL by hand...) but I am interested in user-facing APIs too.

At Moodstocks, we primarily use the Ruby and C++ languages, but I am
personally a Lua user (and I have tried a whole lot of other
languages).

I am @pchapuis at Twitter, catwell at GitHub. Some of you have met me
at OSDC.fr.

Your turn now ;) I will post another, more technical thread later in
the day.

Salut!
I'm niko, working @ http://rtgi.eu as dev.
I've started a jQuery port of spore, and I will follow with a pure
javascript (client side).
I've also just started a website design for spore with Dancer (http://
github.com/nikopol/SporeWebsite) but I'll write more details about it
later.
next! ;)

Hello everybody too !

I am the 30 years old Franck's boss at Linkfluence (http://
linkfluence.net/). I manage the developers team and write some code
mostly in Perl.
My main task is to coordinate the architecture of our social web data
engine. You should understand why I'm very interested in SPORE ;)

Our engine is mainly coded in Perl but with some Java parts (Solr,
indexing) and soon we'll add some parts in Clojure and JRuby.
Our front-ends are in Flash, Javascript and for the time in PHP.

My username is cmaussan at both Twitter and Github.

Next :)

Camille.

Hello,
I am Nils Grunwald and I work at http://linkfluence.net too. I mainly work in Perl but I also use a whole lot of other languages, more or less well known. I collaborated to the redaction of the SPORE specifiaction with Franck and drafted the implementation spec. I am interested in Data Mining in all its forms and polyglot programming in general, so a mechanism to easily access webdata across languages is obviously very interesting for me, as I am not fond of rewriting clients for the API and tools I use in 2 or 3 languages each time.
I am currently writing 2 implementations of SPORE, one in Clojure (well advanced) and one in Ruby (coming along nicely).
I am @nilsgrunwald on twitter and ngrunwald on GitHub.

Hello everybody,

I am François Perrad, the author of the Lua implementation of SPORE at
http://github.com/fperrad/lua-Spore.
My username is fperrad at github, luaforge, sourceforge, ohloh,
linkedin, #perlfr, #parrot but I am not on twitter (expect

And my CPAN ID is PERRAD when I publish Perl5 modules.

Bonjour tout le monde,

I am Elias, software engineer in a lab at Ecole Polytechnique/CNRS
called CREA mainly on text-mining in python. Other fields of interest
are distributed computing, I am a former developer at linkfluence
(with modern perl & & mysql & jquery on web services and firefox add-
ons).

With jbilcke, also invited to this group, I design and develop a free
software for text-analysis : http://tinasoft.eu that will reach a beta
stage in a few weeks. It's composed of an http server (python + sqlite
+ nltk +numpy + twisted.web), and a web interface (jquery + processing
java applet) for the creation and exploration of semantic networks.

A first experience with the twisted event-driven networking framework
made me curious of porting SPORE to python+twisted (http://github.com/
pyspore), but now I think it would be more appropriate for SPORE to
come back to simpler http client modules. We'll see. For the moment,
pyspore is still not functionnal.

Anyone interested in pyspore should fork it !

Anyway, SPORE is a very interesting project : genericity,
maintainability, portability, and simplicity ! I hope it'll continue
in that spirit.

Elias

Hi I'm Julian,
working together with Elias on the TINA project.
I might be interest by the JQuery version of SPORE, 
and give an helpful hand to Elias form time to time for the pyspore implementation.

Is there a website with links to all SPORE implementations ?

Julian
