Announcement: WebCamp workshop on Social Network Portability

I am happy to announce the "Social Network
Portability" workshop 
(co-located with BlogTalk) to be held in Cork, Ireland on
the 2nd March 
2008. You can view the wiki page for this event at 
http://we
bcamp.org/SocialNetworkPortability

"Social network portability" is a term that has
been used to describe 
the ability to reuse one's own profile and contacts across
various 
social networking sites and social media applications. At
this workshop, 
we will combine presentations with breakout sessions to
discuss all 
aspects of portability for social networking sites
(including accounts, 
friends, activities / content, and applications).

I would like to invite members of the Microformats community
to submit 
ideas for presentation on the wiki page.

Topics of relevance include, but are not limited to, social
network 
centralisation versus decentralisation, OpenSocial,
microformats 
including XHTML Friends Network (XFN) and hCard,
authentication and 
authorisation, OpenID single sign-on, Bloom filters,
categorising 
friends and personas, FOAF, ownership of your published
content, SIOC, 
the OpenFriend format, the Social Network Aggregation
Protocol (SNAP), 
aggregation and privacy, permissions and context, the
Extensible 
Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), the social graph and
the giant 
global graph.

You can register for this workshop in conjunction with
BlogTalk 2008 at 
http://www.amiand
o.com/blogtalk2008 (there is a nominal fee of €50 to 
cover food and room costs). If you are interested in
speaking or 
otherwise participating in the workshop, please add your

Speakers or Participants headings on the wiki page at

event.

John.
