A bit last minute, but since Brian Oberkirch was in town (San Francisco), and I knew this is an important subject to him, I volunteered to [http://pownce.com/t/notes/355501/ announce it] and see who showed up and what we could get done. [[User:Tantek|Tantek]]

There's defiinitely much more to be done, but we've got a very good start, with the basics of what social network sites need to do to both publish and subscribe/auto-sync portable social networks.  I've added a few follow-up actions to [[to-do#Tantek|my to-do list]]. [[User:Tantek|Tantek]]
