This meet up marks the first of 3 Beer and Blogs that will be sponsored by Vidoop. They are sponsoring these sessions because they have a grip of Vidoop employees coming to Portland over the next few weeks and would like to show them a good time. How rad is that?
It is only fitting then that we’ll have two Vidoopers, Scott Kveton (@kveton) and Michael Richardson (@mtrichardson), leading the first of these sessions in a talk about DiSo. If you’re not familiar with DiSo, that’s ok because that is what this talk will be about. It is a distributed social project that seeks to replicate the functionality of social networks in an open, distributed manner.
Here are a couple of links to get you going:
- Chris Messina’s announcement of the collaboration effort with Steve Ivy
- Steve Ivy’s announcement of DiSo intentions
- DiSo project home page
- DiSo Google Code site
For your reference, Chris Messina (@factoryjoe) went to work for Vidoop in order to work on his DiSo project full time. So, we should be getting some rad information for the horse’s mouth, so to speak. Not that Scott or Michael have horse mouthes. I’m going to stop typing now.
Loving those pics of Michael and Scott. This one looks awesome!
Hehe, I know. Kveton said he will make me pay for using these pics too. I think it makes them look like doppelgangers
