4 years ago today OpenSocial launched to the world at the first Google Campfire One event.
You can find me at 4:14 and 4:30 operating the browser next to Akash Garg and Jeremiah Robison. Today Akash is doing infra work at Twitter, Jeremiah is over at Jawbone working with a bunch of the former hi5 crew, and I'm working on making Google+ better with some of the same folks that participated in the original OpenSocial effort you see below.
Also don't miss the Vic Gundotra's intro at
Campfire One: Introducing OpenSocial
and performances by Joe Greenstein, Marc Andreessen, Adam Nash and others.
How time flies!

Here's the start of the Google+ APIs. Read-only People and Activities
Opensocial folks shouldn't fret -- oauth2, json activity streams and poco all overlap nicely with the ongoing work for OpenSocial V2.

I’m super excited about how the Google+ project brings the richness and nuance of real life sharing to software, and today we’re announcing our first step towards bringing this to your apps as well by launching the Google+ public data APIs.
These APIs allow you to retrieve the public profile information and public posts of the Google+ users, and they lay the foundation for us to build on together - Nothing great is ever built in a vacuum so I’m excited to start the conversation about what the Google+ platform should look like.
Please follow the link to the blog post to find out what exactly we’re launching and you can find the technical details on how to use this on our new developer site at http://developers.google.com/+
I’d also like to take a moment to introduce my team who will be joining me on working with our developer community (ie: you!) and answering any questions you may have about the Google+ platform on our discussion forums.
We’ll all also be doing a bunch of Hangouts over the next few days and beyond to talk to you directly and hear what you think of the +Platform as well as helping with any coding questions you may have, so make sure to add them to your Google+ developers circle!

Voting has started for the new OpenSocial 2.0 specification. If you're not already involved, and you're interested in open apps, this is a great time to get activated. The steps:
1. Sign up here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?key=0Aki8A6bvOtZNcGNXZXY1cUtjMk9DQXhvUjNBYlpjWl... Participation in OpenSocial is free and open to all.
2. When you receive notification that you've been added, vote on this revision: http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-resources/source/detail?r=1520
OpenSocial 2.0 is a huge step forward for the specification, incorporating many of the systems (like ActivityStreams and OAuth) that we use on the modern social web. I'm excited by this push -- let's get it released!
