Add your proposal to our event wiki or as an alternative send it to the SocialCamp organizer (yours truly;-).
The current App Nite live demo and Q&A line-up includes:
These Are My Kids 2.0 w/ Michael Fergusson
We’ve got a lot of new things to show. These Are My Kids is now a multi-modal, virtual private social networking system for families (no, we don’t market it that way (-; ). It can connect people via Facebook, email, Kinzin.com, and the postal mail. Gramma can be a member of this social network without even owning a computer. Did I blow your mind?
Ski & Snowboard w/ Reza Hussein
Love skiing or snowboarding? This is the app for you. We’ll give an overview of our app, how we take advantage of social elements, and how we use a map-driven interface for you to find new ski resorts, and how user-generated content is helping make this the largest and most accurate database of ski resorts in the world.
Protagonize - A collaborative fiction writing community w/ Nick Bouton
Protagonize is a creative writing community dedicated to writing various forms of collaborative, interactive fiction. One author writes a story, and others post branches or chapters to it in different directions. The result is an organic, evolving story where everyone can participate.
Nick Bouton will discuss community building in niche markets, Facebook integration, and contrast Facebook’s walled garden approach with the development and nurturing of a stand-alone social network / community site.
And the current lightning talk line-up includes:
- Hosting Options, Tips and Tricks for Scaling OpenSocial and Facebook Apps w/ Mark Mayo, Joyent
- Developing Social Web Applications using Ruby on Rails w/ Gerald Bauer
- Social Graph Enabling Every Site: Ideas on the Flock People Bar w/ Boris Mann
