Today at the huge technology conference in San Francisco, JavaOne, Sun Microsystems announced an open source initiative with Liferay, Inc. I am also glad to announce that my firm has been working with Sun this year to create a Social Networking application based on the Liferay Portal Server.

I have written on this project in earlier “Learning Curve” blog entries when we were developing with the Sun Java System Portal Server. But in knowing that Sun would soon adopt Liferay as one of its offerings (while continuing to offer the Java System Portal Server as well), we choose to change course and start development with Liferay. It’s been a lot of fun so far, and this is an exciting project for us as we have opportunity to invent things in new ways.

I will continue the Learning Curve series on creating a Social Networking application with Liferay soon, and also post more details about this application!
