Hello all,
I apologize for spamming the list - I dug through the archives and perused the website, but
couldn't really find a central point of contact for the project, so as long as I can converse
with one person, the rest of you are free to ignore me. :P
My name is Shannon. I am participating in the 2008 rendition of GSoC, working with the Joomla
CMS community to make it an OpenSocial container. However, after several conversations with
my Joomla advisor, and several looks back at some of the other GSoC projects I'd almost applied
for, Shindig captured our attention for many reasons.
I was wondering if I could be a bit more present in this community by way of working to make
Joomla an OpenSocial container through integrating it with Shindig. I know there is currently
an issue of licensing - Joomla uses the GPLv2 license, which is incompatible with the Apache
2.0 license. However, I understand that Joomla will be moving to GPLv3 very soon, which is
apparently much friendlier with Apache's license.
That's pretty much my shpiel. Feedback, comments, and general suggestions are very much much
welcome; in fact, I'd love to hear back with thoughts from anyone. Any direction from the
experts is appreciated!
Thank you!
Regards,
Shannon Quinn
