Mark O'Neil posted Mobile Computing Anyone?
I am keen on having a conversation at OSDIII (or anytime for that matter) around application ideas which work well on a variety of platforms (desktop/browser/mobile) with a focus on targeting the iPhone/iTouch platform. I would like to see the same applications - or data provided - be available on my iTouch via an app, my Desktop via an app, and a browser via a service or CMS/System extension.
Malcolm Murray: This might be a good candidate for Andrew Martin's web services tool?
Mark O'Neil: Absolutely - in fact the architecture of an application I am currently building will (at least it is my current thinking that it will) rely somewhat heavily on Andrew's web services. Also I should have an authN/authZ model based on device Id-account pairs that hopefully will facilitate authorization between the device app and the backend service. I have it all on a napkin somewhere... ;^)
Kevin Borgeson: I was thinking the same thing, Andrew's web services would be core to making this work in a variety of environments. Mark, have you checked out the Open Laszlo Project (http://www.openlaszlo.org/)? It allows you to generate both Flash & DHTML code from the same code base. I haven't used it yet but it might be a good alternative to AIR/Flash .

Heather Natour posted SIMILE Timeline
The SIMILE project is an open source project conducted by MIT. http://simile.mit.edu I created a building block that integrates their timeline as a content item in Blackboard. The current version I did is very rudimentary, but there are tons of things that could be done to integrate external or Blackboard data into the timeline, make use of more features from the timeline apis, etc.
Peter Hanley: That's really cool - is it available for download somewhere? =P I'd like to throw it on our beta system and check it out.

I'd be interested to know more about what you mean by a "Simile Timeline", sounds fascinating!

Stephen Vickers posted Building Blocks or PowerLinks?
I would find it really interesting if everyone could say in their profile whether they develop Building Blocks or PowerLinks (or something else or nothing). I am keen to make contact with other PowerLinks developers, as well as look at projects for joint development on both platforms.

FYI, we've used Open Space Technology for both of the first two meetings. We had lots of positive feedback. Open Space Technology is not a hardware or software solution. OST is a meeting solution whose modus operandi is participation. It's fun!

Just what is Open Space Technology (the methodology used at OSD meetings)?
