On Tuesday, March 2nd at 7pm, I’ll be hosting the first #OpenWebTO Meetup at the Centre for Social Innovation. My goal is to get a group of people interested in open web tech together to present, chat, and share ideas. The first meeting will be focused on figuring out what people want out of such a gathering, and what topics in particular are popular. I’m going to do a quick presentation on how I see the current landscape of open web tech and hopefully get some discussion going. Open web technology is a pretty broad topic, so it’s probably helpful to say that I’m thinking specifically of protocols like OpenID, OAuth, Portable Contacts, WebFinger, Webhooks / PubSubHubbub, Activity Streams, and similar.
The more the merrier of course, so if you’re in the Toronto area and have an interest in open web technologies, come on out and join us! Details are on Guestlist.
