buddycloud Summit v1.0 and hackathon
The federated social web continues to change and evolve at an unprecedented pace. buddycloud is leading this revolution.
Strategies of building an open ecosystem become more important to users and companies for privacy and data security alike. Social applications no longer just help us - they run our lives. Yet most of us still depend on closed networks and companies potentially expose private information outside the corporate firewall.
The buddycloud Summit delves into the issues and challenges of developing a secure, federated social network. It brings together buddycloud developers, thought-leaders, peers and colleagues from the open source world, software vendors and mobile makers building a better future.
The summit provides you with the know-how to build your next project on buddycloud.
Let’s build this open future together. Be a part of it and join us!
