Building social software with StatusNet

StatusNet (http://status.net/) is the Open Source microblogging server. This LAMP software has an extensible plugin architecture, so you can develop other tools that use the "microcasting" metaphor: distributing social activities to an opted-in group. In this session, I'll give an overview of the StatusNet plugin architecture, describe the key classes needed to build a plugin, and make an example plugin for photo sharing.
