Sync Framework Toolkit now Open Source!

Your blog title is a bit misleading. The core of the Sync Framework is still closed source, this is just a layer on top of the Sync Framework 2.1.

[ericgol] OK, don't shoot the messenger here.. I can only go by the note I was sent on this, but you are correct, the Toolkit is Open Source, not the base Framework. I will correct the title. Thanks!

MEAP may refer to:

Canon MEAP (Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform), a software development kit

Michigan Educational Assessment Program, a standardised school test

Mobile enterprise application platform, a development framework for mobile devices

MEAP Nisou, a Cypriot football club

Manning Early Access Program, a program for early access to technical manuscripts to be published by Manning Publications Co.

My guess it is Mobile enterprise application platform, but who knows?

[ericgol] I guess I know. :) And the winner is..... (not Miss Philippines.) ....Mobile Enterprise Application Platform. (Oh, and Congratulations to Miss Angola, the new Miss Universe.)

What on earth is a "MEAP solution"?

I can't see the images in your blog post.

[ericgol] Not sure why you can't see the images, but it may be proxy server settings on your end. Images for MSDN blogs are kept offline, and for my blog they are served by a third-party hosting company, operating in North America.

Not sure why the framework isn't available on Codeplex, as with MEF, MVC and WCF Web API. It slightly confuses me whether it is to remain a core part of their OData/Sync story eg. added to .NET 4.5 (hopefully) or via out of band Nuget releases.
