Another great Bar Camp in La Cantine
Today, well yesterday (Tuesday) I was at a Bar Camp on Cloud computing, social networks, the Open Stack and Geolocation in the very friendly La Cantine organized by Silicon Sentier in Paris.
La Cantine is a great place to meet lots of people anytime. You can just stop by and drink some coffee while hacking a project on the web. But today with guests from Google, Mozilla, Sun (me and some others) and a very enthusiastic and technical audience the place was full of energy.
As it was a Bar Camp the timetable organized itself. A track on social networks appeared, and so of course I presented foaf+ssl as I had done 10 days before at the Social Web Bar Camp, except that we had to do this without projector this time as we, 20 or so people, were gathered around the bar. So for those who were there who would really like to get a better overview of what this enables, I recommend the following links:
- The second video of the blog "FrOSCon: the Free and Open Source Conference in Sankt Augustin, Germany", (best viewed in Firefox 3.5 at present)
- The essential foaf.me web site, where one can put together in a few clicks a foaf file and on browsers other than Internet Explorer, get a certificate in one click, (Firefox and Opera are recommended)
- The foaf+ssl wiki which contains the links to all the papers and howtos, including the essential mailing list.
This was also the occasion of meeting a lot of very knowledgeable people from Google such as Patrick Chanezon for example, and from the European Mozilla team, such as Tristan Nitot. I was so busy answering questions sadly that I missed quite a lot of the other talks. But I did make a lot of good contacts, that I will now be following up on.

Note on comments:
- I know the forms below are a little small. We have asked for years for this to be changed, but I don't think it's going to happen soon. In Apple's Safari you can resize the entry box with you mouse. For people using other browsers click on this javascript link, that should allow you to resize your form.
- Comments are moderated, so they will take a little time to appear. Currently moderation means I have to read them personally. Hopefully with OpenId deployment, this will become more automated.
- HTML markup no longer works here, due to some decision made somewhere. Sorry about that.
- If you are having trouble posting, it may be that you need javascript to be enabled. I don't think javascript should be needed for submitting a form, but that's the way it is here.

Henry,
it was great to meet you there and discuss FOAF+SSL on Fennec. Glad to see that it works!
Keep up the good work,
--Tristan
