Hal Stern's latest Innovating@Sun podcast interview features Peter Reiser discussing Community Equity, a social value system that measures one's online social capital. This system has been successfully used internally for over a year and is now available for general use. The Webspace team has also made an alpha integration available for GlassFish Webspace Server via its Update Center-based developer repository, enabling portal user social capital to be accurately measured (You may also remember the CommunityOne Webcast and presentation).

You can check out the spec, participate at the Kenai project site, or follow the project on Twitter.

Future works in progress include semantic integration with Kiwi, and an implementation of the Activity Streams spec (enabling deeper integration with Facebook, MySpace, StatusNet, and other social platforms).

So, you are a happy GlassFish user and want to show your appreciation? First option would be to become a customer but if you are in a hurry and/or are short in cash, consider joining the LinkedIn and/or FaceBook groups. Thanks for taking the time.

Here are some of the Facebook groups that might be of interest to readers of TheAquarium:

• GlassFish • jMaki • JRuby • OpenSSO • OpenDS • Phobos
