Currently the development projects that are being discussed or I am currently working on are around SAS products and tools to integrate within existing collaborative platforms. The architecture of Google Wave is explained clearly in this video and it has shaped the way that I am structuring these developments. Its worth the hour to watch this.
Still trying to get a invite for Google Wave and reading everything I can on it at the moment. Found this really good video explains Google Wave. As open source products go this may have the most impact on web development so I am following with great interest.
I attended the CloudCamp event in Edinburgh University last night and was really impressed by the format, turn out and the most Pizza I have ever seen in one location. There were well over 100 attendees and some fantastic speakers the event passed quickly.
Also a quick pitch from the Open Source Software Awards
There was a lot of focus on using the Cloud in commercial applications to support scalability and costing with some good demonstrations. I will be looking to use more Cloud based technology as the caching of pages in the Cloud is of interest.
One of the best presentations on the I have seen was given by Eben Moglen at the Plone Conference in 2006, It touches the challenges and possibility’s that face both community and software. It shows a great understanding of history and vision of the evolution of the future.
I love the concept of “the Mathematics Sellers” and the “Transportation” he uses to begin the presentation from a common point of understanding.
