    • 6 Comments

    A few people from the Live Services team are going to LeWeb’08 and we thought – lets do something crazy! Lets give out 30GB Live Mesh accounts.

    As James mentions:

    To claim your 30GB storage on Live Mesh please stop by the Live Mesh booth in the Microsoft zone and register with either myself (James Senior), Angus Logan or Jeff Hansen.

    Attendees will also be getting exclusive access to Live Mesh for Windows Mobile and Mac, again stop by the booth for more info.

    Giddy up! See you there!

    Thanks for all the feedback!

    I posted on the dev.live.com main newsfeed the end of the Photo API and the App Storage community technology previews!

    All of the feedback you provided was awesome and it helped shape the Live Framework.

    We don’t have an exact schedule as to when a new Photo API will be available however this is an interesting scenario we want to enable.

    Photos API and App Storage API CTP Ending

    Just a quick note that we will be winding down our Community Technology Preview of the Windows Live Spaces Photo API and the Windows Live Application Based Storage API in the next couple of days and we will be turning off those API endpoints.

    The Photos API CTP especially has been extremely useful for us, as we learned a ton about the functionality developers want and previewed our first AtomPub endpoint – this AtomPub endpoint drove some of the thinking around the Live Framework. But the time has come for these CTPs to end. In the future, we will be back with another Photo API, but we don’t have the exact schedule yet.

    Community Technology Previews are designed to shape the technology by giving developers early access to a technology to allow them to “kick the tires” and provide us valuable feedback. CTP releases explicitly do not allow for use in production-style environments (see terms). This allows us to get our offering right before we have customers bet their businesses on us. With the development of the Live Framework and the revamped release of Windows Live services, the APIs need an overhaul to provide a consistent developer and user experience for accessing private data and related metadata.

    One last thing, I want to explicitly call out the work we did with eye.fi. Allowing their customers to upload photos to Spaces in a preview state really drove a lot of the key learnings around the Photo API – eye.fi have been a great partner.
