Summer Updates

After ignoring my blog for a long time (due to laziness and some technical reasons) i hope i will now finally maintain my blog regularly.

Currently i am working on a project called gongtong under the guidance of Twincling Technology foundation.

“Gong tong” is a Chinese word meaning work jointly  and collaboratively.  Gongtog will be able to do the entire event management, organization, inauguration and interaction among the people on web 2.0 as a platform.

With the advancement in technology our Internet microns have increased substantially and thus the possibility to harness web 2.0 as a platform has exploded to many proportions. Taking the advantage of the technology we can now think of the applications that seem to be impossible when thought a decade ago.

Gongtong with the help of Web 2.0 technologies can be used to organize technical conferences, webinars, product launches, community events, company-wide gatherings, executive presentations, trainings and meetings where one can participate,organize and manage some part or the whole of the event from their desktop.

Imagine the convenience of sitting at your home and still able to attend all your conferences in “real time”, the flexibility to miss your best friend’s wedding and still being present there virtually.

Possibilities are enormous and no one person can think of it, so gongtong will be a plug-in based architecture and hence you can develop your custom plug-in according to your needs.

Most important thing – gongtong is an open source project and it will be released under Apache Software license 2.0 :)

Following technologies are planned to be used in the gontong -

  • Scala 2.7.4 (later 2.8.0) Programming language
  • Sun JRE 5/6
  • Lift 1.0 framework
  • PostgreSql 8.3+
  • ajax/jquery

Deployment Model

  • Dedicated hosting.
  • Amazon Elastic cloud (EC2) hosting.
