In the last few weeks and days several people approached me that they want to participate in the contest but they don´t had time
to work on their ideas. Others told me that they want to polish their submission a bit more.

So I decided to move the deadline 3 weeks to the 14. of September.

I hope this is O.K. with everybody.

Important for us are our users out there. Therefore, we decided to ask you as our community to bring your ideas or wishes in so that we can collect them and implement them. As you may know, openDesktop.org is a huge community network including kde-apps.org, kde-look.org, gtk-apps.org, gnome-look.org and many others similar sites. So proposed changes could applied for these sites, too.

Are you interested in programming a really nice and easy REST API? You've already heard from the Open Collaboration Services API and wanted to hook in this topic? Now it's your chance to do this and to win really nice prizes for your creation! We and the openDesktop.org community are searching for the best and most creative contest submission around the Social Desktop/OCS API!

Entrants are encouraged to submit entries that encourage community participation. Everyone can participate, teams are allowed (but than they have to share their prize, too). Every contribution must be licenced under an open source licence and must be build around the OCS API. Otherwise the entry won't get accepted! Every contest contribution has to be uploaded to openDesktop.org (upload category: Social Desktop contest) so that the community can vote for the best content.

The contest will run till 25th August 2009. The winner will picked by the community and a jury. As the Social Desktop is a cross platform idea it is great that we have people from different project in the jury.

Jury members are:

The questions and answers are now in the main navigation and better accessible. You can search for answered or not answered questions. We have introduced different categories and a full text search. Questions and answers can be related to specific applications or independent. We simplified the answer workflow. Now every registered user can click on the add answer button and answer a question. You can also upload 2 pictures for every question and 2 more pictures for the answer. The idea is to build a user generated FAQ and knowledge base to help new and unexperienced users.
http://www.openDesktop.org/knowledgebase

All the data is accessible via the OCS REST API. Marco Martin already wrote a nice dataengine and a plasmoid to access this knowledge base directly from the Desktop. The dataengine will be part of KDE 4.3 Let´s what we can do with this infrastructure and ideas in the future. :-)

Our new event database is now also accessible via the Open Collaboration Services API and has its own RSS feed. But RSS is so oldschool. :-) I think integration into the Desktop or Akonadi is the future. Does somebody volunteer to help? :-)

We hope that you like the features. What do you think?

But now I have to switch from development into presentation mode. Like Sebas I have 4 talks in the next 3 weeks. Hope to see you at Linuxtag or at the Gran Canaria Desktop Summit.


Cheers
Frank

Every user is free to register new events e.g. a Linux conference in London, a developer meeting in Berlin or just a little barbecue in a backyard. Your event will be listed in the events database and other users can "join" the event.
New participants can be invited to take part in events, friends get automatically informed via the friend newsfeed that some of their friends go to an event. The date, a short description and a location is enough to start a new event. Locations get directly displayed via an OpenStreetMap applet provided by the free wiki world map on each event page.
The event database is going to be part of the Social Desktop therefore events nearby a user can also be displayed via the Social Desktop Plasmoid for the KDE desktop in the future.
Data can be fetched using the Open Collaboration Services API. Furthermore an integration in Kontact/Kalendar and Evolution is being evaluated at the moment.
