We'll be holding our next Open API meetup on Thursday, June 17 at 6:00 pm at the Twilio offices in SOMA- 1st and Folsom, Floor 3. At our last meetup, we had some great conversations around data ownership and versioning- this time, we'll have a few lightning talks followed by open, community-led discussion on moving from the theoretical to the practical in creating and executing a successful open API strategy; issues like:
- Keeping an open platform while supporting the core business
- Unexpected challenges, lessons learned, battle stories
- Attracting and cultivating a developer community
- The API standards issue in the real world
- Developing partnerships
- Metrics for success
- Effect and opportunities of cloud computing
- Security, versioning, and evolution of the API
- Choices around methods, design, markup, etc.
- REST vs SOAP
And more. Suggestions welcome and everyone gets to talk :)
Lightning presos to kick us off from:
Evan Cooke, CTO, Twilio
Oren Teich, VP, Heroku
Geva Perry, API, cloud computing & enterprise software guru
Of course, food and beverages will be provided.
