#OpenWebTO - The Salmon Protocol

OpenWebTO is a meetup for people interested in and / or actively developing on the Open Web stack of specifications / protocols. Topics of discussion are pretty open ended, but could include OpenID, OAuth, PubSubHubbub, Webhooks, Activity Streams, Microformats, Portable Contacts, OpenSocial, Web Finger, HTML5, etc.

For this meetup, James Walker will lead us through an in-depth tour of the Salmon Protocol (expect to see real live Salmon Slaps).  From the protocol summary:

"Conversations are becoming distributed and fragmented on the Web. Content is increasingly syndicated and re-aggregated beyond its original context. Technologies such as RSS, Atom, and PubSubHubbub allow for a real time flow of updates to readers, but this leads to a fragmentation of conversations. The comments, ratings, and annotations increasingly happen at the aggregator and are invisible to the original source.

The Salmon Protocol is an open, simple, standards-based solution that lets aggregators and sources unify the conversations. It focuses initially on public conversations around public content."

The meeting is at the Centre for Social Innovation. We'll be on the 1st floor in room 120 (signs will be posted).
