Greasemonkey maybe not?

Whew, there is a lot going on at this meeting! Like the 3rd guest on a talk show, we may end up bumping Greasemonkey to next month, so we can more in-depth than we could in just 20 minutes.

Everyone practice talking really fast.

2 other interesting topics

Adobe released flash player 9 update 3 and it now supports HD quality video:
Press Release

Also, a nice tool is in the adobe labs that I have found useful for freelance work with others is titled: BRIO. It's the next generation of acrobat connect and is free! After reading a bit, I think it will always be free for up to 3 people. Beyond that you'll need to look into acrobat connect. Pretty sweet for you freelance teams out there.

Prism

Would someone be willing to do a 10 minute preso on Prism?

Yes!

I could do a few minutes, and I'm sure Gabe an KeVroN would pitch in.

I pretty much use Prism

I pretty much use Prism exclusively for my Twitter, Gmail, Gdocs, and GReader needs.
Ubuntu Install is very nicely outlined here.

There is no package available for Ubuntu, but the following command can install Prism for Linux for you. It downloads Prism 0.8 and extracts it to your /opt directory. To do this it will need to ask for your password. Copy and paste this command (it’s one line) into a terminal to run it.

wget -P ~ http://people.mozilla.com/~mfinkle/prism/prism-0.8-linux.tar.bz2 && sudo tar -xjf ~/prism-0.8-linux.tar.bz2 -C /opt

Adobe AIR??

Is this anything like air? seems like a similar concept.

Prism

Prizm

Prism is really a "Site Specific Browser" or a browser that typically just does one thing, like function as a calendar app or feed reader. It has some similarities to Adobe AIR, but Prizm is open source, and built on Mozilla, and you do not need any special authoring environment. I'm sure we'll cover all of this at the meeting. :)

Free!

That's what Mozilla has been best at; free and open source.

OpenSocial

Topics of interest to talk about OpenSocial:
*Fragmentation: We know everything will have a common basis, but what would stop Ning from implementing Ning only advanced markup that enabled more features? Is this bad
*Write-Only: Details still sketchy about the ability to read user data from sites as opposed to letting them know you're there.
*Will Facebook eventually have to support it?
*As a business how does this affect you and your development(dollars, cycles, promotion)?
*Security Model: Still very little known, but early adopters might get burned. Talk about XSS vulnerability!
*General high fluting talk about the future of "widgets" on the web and how they talk to user data.
