Yesterday we had our 2nd GeekNight and it was at least as successfull as our first event of that manner. It was a premiere in two ways:

• We broadcasted the sessions live through uStream
• Our partner Wooga showed BrainBuddies, the first OpenSocial Gadget running on our platforms. It will become available when we launch OpenSocial

We had about 70 visitors at the Volksbar and over 30 people watched the live stream.
As requested you can download our presentations on the vCard and on BrainBuddies in German.

Watch out for upcoming dates so you can come and join us next time!

We are proud to announce that our Gadget Sandbox with OpenSocial 0.8.1 integration is up and running. Developers can upload and test their gadgets against our platforms and request the approval to make them available to our users.
All interested developers are invited to join our OpenSocial support group on meinVZ and studiVZ where more information can be found about how to become a VZ OpenSocial Gadget developer.

We strongly believe that OpenSocial should also been taken literally so we started a monthly GeekNight where all interested developers are informed about our current projects and the release status of our OpenSocial implementation.

OpenSocial will become fully available by the end of the year. This leaves enough room to be out with stable and tested gadgets for the container’s OpenSocial launch.
However we already use GoogleGadgets to provide interactive ads and games on our platforms.
