Big props to Andrew Davis, Mark W. and the rest of the Opensocial community for getting this done! Major accomplishment.

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!

Now upgrading Fedora memcached to 1.4.6. I really do like the fedpkg system -- so much better than the old CVS based build system.

Here's the ugly sign and a funny writeup...

Does the big thumbs up button outside Facebook's new headquarters in Menlo Park mean:

1) Like our Campus on Facebook!

2) Good luck to all who enter here?

3) Good luck getting your data back out of the site?

4) Trust us - seriously!

5) I'm hitchhiking - please give me a ride across the Dumbarton to the East Bay.

Of note, for those not native to the Bay Area, or unfamiliar, Facebook's new HQ in Menlo Park takes over the campus from Sun Microsystems, now part of Oracle. The buildings are on Network Circle, appropriate for Sun, but if you're a tech dork like me who checked in at the new HQ on Foursquare, you'll see they call the street "Hacker Way". I wonder if they are going to get the name officially changed with the city?

Good luck! Thumbs up!

More weird Dr Who stuff found via Sparks...

Google has life-size Tardis too, however I couldn't find it last time I looked. (Maybe it dematerialized??)

Crazy stuff here at Google...

And I thought my heart couldn't be melted by Google magic anymore... Today the Google+ team was surprised at our weekly All Hands meeting to find out we were having a surprise beach party right outside our building! Check out the wave pool they installed in the parking lot and various Googlers surfing!
