Last week we presented Open Mashups at the XTech 2008 conference in Dublin.

The slides are available in PDF and OpenOffice format.

To allow easier management of Open Mashups Studio, we submitted it to Mozilla's addons repository. All new extension start their life in a sandbox, as experimental extension, and are not shown to non-registered users.

Of course our goal is to have Open Mashups Studio as a public extension on AMO, and to achieve this we need some positive reviews. You'll find details on how to write reviews in the sandbox here.

Thanks for your help ! ]]> http://www.open-mashups.org/archives/2008/05/07/index.html#e2008-05-07T10_31_33.txt 2008-05-07T10:31:33+02:00 Fabrice Desré mozilla, open-mashups
