Learning About the Open Stack for the Social Web December 19, 2008

Joe Stump and I were talking a few days ago about how it would be useful to help better explain how technologies like OpenID, OAuth and OpenSocial all fit together and what this thing we've been calling "the Open Stack" actually is. So, come join us at Digg's offices for some drinks, snacks, and a great series of short informative talks directly from some of the people who have been involved in helping build these technologies.

5:30 to 5:40 - John McCrea introducing the Open Stack
5:40 to 5:50 - Eran Hammer-Lahav on Discovery
5:50 to 6:00 - Allen Tom on OAuth
6:00 to 6:10 - David Recordon on OpenID (including OpenID + OAuth)
6:10 to 6:20 - Kevin Marks on OpenSocial
6:20 to 6:30 - Joseph Smarr on Portable Contacts
6:30 to 6:40 - Chris Messina on Activity Streams
6:40 to 6:50 - Bill Shupp on coding this stuff

Aim to show up around 5pm and we should have a good hour afterward until 8ish to answer questions.
