Open Source Java. Rod Smith: Here is the offer: IBM would like to work with Sun on an independent project to open source Java. [Sam Ruby]

This seems like, if it was taken, it would be a significant step.

One event standard - please!.

Here's Matt Mower's thoughts on adding ESF events to the When category of the k-collector.

I'm gonna rely upon Matt and Paolo to grok all this stuff. I just hope they're making sure:

  • that all these events standards can work together
  • that they've gone back and checked out the earlier standardization efforts that happened in the blogosphere (I seem to remember an rdf schema from Danny Ayers)
  • that they're talking to Andrew Baio of UpComing.org.

Schedule and Calendar aggregation is key to the overall digital lifestyle aggregation scenario.

[Marc's Voice]

I think we're likely to support ESF straight away because:

  • it's there
  • it's simple
  • it's RSS2.0
I notice that there is also an events module for RSS1.0. Does anyone use it?

Based upon Marc's suggest I have taken a look at UpComing.org however it doesn't seem to support event metadata in it's feeds yet. Clearly we're interested in what such services will do in this area.
