Presentation: "Opensocial in the Enterprise"

Time: Thursday 11:45 - 12:45

Location: Concordia

Abstract: OpenSocial has mostly focused on consumery stuff - Ning, MySpace, Orkut - and that's cool, but it has great potential behind the firewall. Atlassian is leading the charge here, using OpenSocial to help our products exchange data and components, and opening the door to new types of interoperability between enterprise and consumer systems.
