Title:

Post Standards: Creating Open Source Specs

Your vote:
Yes No
Organizer:
David Recordon, Six Apart
Description:
Many of the most interesting new formats on the web are being developed outside the traditional standards process; Microformats, OpenID, OAuth, OpenSocial, and originally Jabber — four out of five of these popular new specs have been standardized by the IETF, OASIS, or W3C. But real hackers are bringing their implementations to projects ranging from open source apps all the way up to the largest companies in the technology industry. While formal standards bodies still exist, their role is changing as open source communities are able to develop specifications, build working code, and promote it to the world. It isn't that these communities don't see the value in formal standardization, but rather that their needs are different than what formal standards bodies have traditionally offered. They care about ensuring that their technologies are freely implementable and are built and used by a diverse community where anyone can participate based on merit and not dollars. At OSCON last year, the Open Web Foundation was announced to create a new style of organization that helps these communities develop open specifications for the web. This panel brings together community leaders from these technologies to discuss the "why" behind the Open Web Foundation and how they see standards bodies needing to evolve to match lightweight community driven open specifications for the web.
Questions
Answered:
  1. Why is the "social web" requiring all these new specs?
  2. Why don't exisiting standards bodies fullfill these needs?
  3. Who is paying attention to this trend and getting involved?
  4. How will this effect how big companies (e.g. IBM) develop standards in years to come?
  5. What Open Source methodologies are being applied to developing open specifications?
  6. What is an open specification?
  7. How will this effect Web 2.0 companies?
  8. How can I get involved?
  9. What is the Open Web Foundation?
  10. Why does this matter now?

@Chris: Fair enough. I'll join in the conversation now that I have write access to the conversation.

Thanks!

So back to my vote for the panel. I agree, this would be a good panel discussion.

Good to have a panel on the open web and open specs ... but shouldn't just be about 'the "why" behind the Open Web Foundation'. Would definitely like to see this discussion happen.

Google Chrome isn't available for Linux yet. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 Sohbet on both of my laptops. Kind of surprising that Google is so gung-ho about open source software, Chat but didn't release a version that runs on an open source OS. Has anyone seen a release date for a Linux version? oyun oyunlarFirefox 3 is quite fast and izlesene stable for me in Ubuntu. Plus, there are all the awesome addons. güncel haber I don't see any other browser forum replacing Firefox güzel sözler as my primary sohbet browser. chat
