As a followup to our OpenSocial and SXSW Interactive 2012 post last month, we wanted to make available the links to the OpenSocial and associated technology proposals that have been submitted to the conference.
We would all greatly appreciate it if you could vote up these proposals to ensure that we have a technology presence at the conference next year, presenting the extensive new technology stack that is inherent within OpenSocial 2.0. There are a total of 3178 proposals in for this year and 30% of the decision-making process is up to community votes, so the more votes and comments we can get the better.
The proposals that we have available are:
-
Distributed Web Frameworks: The Future of Social

-
-
Revolution! Open Apps Will Change the Enterprise

-
-
Building Social Apps for Business Using Opensocial
Link: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/12187
If you have a proposal on the technology or features behind OpenSocial I’d be glad to add it into this blog post – please comment on this post with the details.
Thanks everyone.
