clarify the possible involvement of Mark Hammond
'''Title of Session''': Introducing SocialAPI
'''Facilitator(s)''': Shane Caraveo (maybe , Mark Hammond as well, in which case we may do a 90min with more detailed tutorial)
'''Are you paid or volunteer staff?''': paid
'''Area of Contribution (Team Name)''': Labs
'''How are you currently involved with the community?''': Shane: Within Labs I focus on aspects of social networking, with a strong interest in privacy and security issues, as features in Firefox or in online services. I've been with Mozilla since 2010, starting in Mozilla Messaging, and have been building software on top of Mozilla software since 2001.
'''Location of Work (where do you reside?)''': Vancouver (Shane), Melbourne Australia (Mark) '''Talk Length (please choose between 30, 60, 90, 120 minutes)''': 60, maybe 90
'''Summary''': With the SocialAPI, services can create an immersive social experience for their users in Firefox. This session will cover goals and possible directions for social functionality in Firefox, provide an understanding of the architecture and introduce developers to the building blocks they can use to create a SocialAPI provider.
'''Expected Outcome or Deliverable''':
Awareness and understanding of the SocialAPI, where it's going and how to use it, as well as increasing community involvement and feedback. People wishing to integrate with the SocialAPI will come out with an understanding of the overall architecture and the building blocks needed to build their own provider.
'''Desired Audience Type or Skill-set''':
Developer focused, but anyone interested in understanding how to create a SocialAPI provider is welcome.
Note that if preferred by the organizers we would be happy to split this into 2 sessions - one focused on the use and objectives of the feature itself and another focused on developers who wish to implement a provider or gain a deeper understanding of the implementation.
'''Equipment Needs (Video projector already included)''': wifi
