Federated Social Web

A workshop on social network interoperability and privacy, organised by W3C and PrimeLife. Started as an initiative of Status.net with an idea to develop the O-status protocol to do federated social networking. At the first summit in Portland, the idea was to agree on a common use case, which happened, and got reviewed at the second summit in Berlin.
