Want to learn more about how to develop or integrate with the LinkedIn platform? Then plan on attending the LinkedIn Developer Meetup at Kube Hotel, Paris (December 9th at 5:30pm CET / 17:30 hrs) that we’re holding on the sidelines of the Le Web Conference this year. A big thanks to Dave McClure and Loic Le Meur for helping with the developer meetup!

At the meetup, we’ll show you how you can use our Developer Portal to quickly get up and running. You’ll also get to hear from other developers who’ve already built integrations with our APIs. We’ll have ample time for Q&A and some networking after that (of course)!

Over fifty million people use LinkedIn to find, connect and collaborate with professionals worldwide, do business and build their careers. It is the mission of LinkedIn’s engineering and operations teams to build and scale LinkedIn systems, services and develop features and functionality that makes the LinkedIn service effective and delightful to use.

I have the honor of presenting my talk entitled “Empowering the Social Web with Apache Shindig” at the 10th annual Apache Conference this week. I’ll talk about how Apache Shindig and OpenSocial standards power our very own LinkedIn InApps Platform and hundreds of other social containers on the web. Read on for more, but first a minor digression on LinkedIn, the Apache Software Foundation, and Open Source.

Java One 2009 has come and gone, and once again the engineering team at LinkedIn had the opportunity to make a few presentations that we’d like to share on the blog. Earlier this week, Brandon and Yegor shared their presentation in this blog. In addition to that, Dhananjay and I, were given the opportunity to deliver a technical session at Java One 2009 on how LinkedIn stores its data. A grand time was enjoyed by the both of us, as we regaled some 200+ engineering folks on how we have built our services to manage the data storage platform. The presentation was extremely well received and we just learned that our session was chosen as a Top session at the conference and will be linked to from the Java One conference homepage.
