Here is a brief description of our talk:

A mashup (according to Wikipedia) is a website that seamlessly combines content from more than one source into an integrated experience.

The goal of this session is to walk through concepts and code examples from an actual Plone mashup site so that you can incorporate these features into your own sites.

This mashup site was developed for participants of the Identity Mashup Conference sponsored by Harvard Law School (idmashup.org) and served as a central place for attendees to keep a pulse on the latest conference happenings and events, as well as provided a way to connect with other attendees.

To accomplish this, the site makes extensive use of tagging to mash together content within Plone (conference documents, events, attendee profiles) as well as incorporating content from many outside sources through RSS and publisher's APIs. Attendees also posted blog entries and images on their own sites, which were aggregated into Plone in nearly real-time.
