Copenhagen photos

Comments[0] by Dave in General

Below are some of my photos from my trip to the Open Source Days conference conference in Copenhagen. I only had a little time to explore Copenhagen, but I managed to see a lot of the city. I took a number of very long walks and explored most of the downtown and the Christiana area.

As you can see from the photos, the city is beautiful with lots of big squares, pedestrian-only streets, canals and beautiful architecture. The mass transit system is great and you see a lot of folks getting around by pedal power; I wish my city was so bicycle friendly. At the conference and in my travels around the city, I found that the people are very friendly and eager to be helpful. All in all, a very nice experience and I hope it's not too long before I get to visit again.

Project SocialSite Webinar, Thursday at 11:15am PT

Comments[0] by Dave in Social Software

If you want to learn more about SocialSite, here's your chance. I'll be doing a SocialSite webinar tomorrow (Thursday, Oct. 9) at 11:15am PT. Here's the summary.

Project SocialSite is taking a new approach to social networking. Instead of replacing your existing web site with a Social Networking system, SocialSite allows you make your existing blogs, wikis, forums and portals social and all backed by the same Social Graph of users. It doesn't matter whether your existing applications are Java, Ruby, PHP or blog/CMS template driven, you can easily add the SocialSite Widgets and and give your users a complete Social Networking experience right in the pages of your existing site. You'll be able to provide Personal Profile and Group Profile pages, a Dashboard for your users to manage their groups and connections and allow your users to install standard OpenSocial Gadgets that operate against their network of friends. Your applications can manage the social graph via the SocialSite web services and via standard OpenSocial Gadget technology.

In this webinar we'll explain the reasoning behind Project SocialSite, the basics of OpenSocial and what SocialSite adds, the SocialSite architecture and its Widgets and Web Services.

You can find the dial-in details on wikis.sun.com.
