As some people know, representatives of SKUA, MyExperiment and OSS Watch met to discuss collaboration earlier this week.
I "hijacked" the afternoon slot to introduce Open Social as the way to facilitate some of this collaboration. I also threw Simal (an OSS Watch project registry tool) into the ring as an interested participant in Open Social work.
I just blogged about the outcome [1]. Perhaps most interesting to readers here is:
"Simal, has social network information contained within it (people connected by projects or standards adopted in those projects). I pointed out that this data could be exposed through, and complimented by Open Social gadgets from both the MyExperiment and SKUA projects. I also observed that Simal is not at all unusual in this within the JISC project space."
"Last night I succesfully embedded the MyExperiment TagCloud gadget into the SVN head version of Simal."
"Does your project have any interest in working with Open Social? Would it be useful for you to consume social network data? Can you publish useful social network data?
Please join us on the OSS Watch Community Development list where we would be happy to help you explore and experiment with these ideas. "
I look forward to taking this further with SKUA and MyExperiment. My next task within Simal is to create an open social gadget that exposes social network data about participants in projects.
