I am extremely excited to announce that Google has just announced that it is funding Valentin Sánchez to work on the Drupal Social API via Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2016:
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5879646751031296/#5689...
I've set up this Google mailing list to celebrate:
https://groups.google.com/d/forum/drupal-social-initiative
And here are some other ways to participate in the project:
https://groups.drupal.org/social-initiative
https://www.drupal.org/project/social_api
https://github.com/drupalsocialinitiative
Google Drive: https://goo.gl/YDvjxL - See "Read Me First"
Please invite Drupal users and developers who you think would be interested in helping the Drupal Social Initiative to create the Drupal Social API.
Cheers Daniel
