Professional
I work with Google since 2005, as API Evangelist. These days I focus on the OpenSocial API. You can find useful ressource about OpenSocial under my del.icio.us OpenSocial tag.
Before that I took care of the Google Checkout API and the AdWords API.
Before that I was software architect in the Portal group at Sun, where I worked remotely from Paris, France between 2001 and 2005, with teams located in the US and India.
In 2004 I helped launch blogs.sun.com and co-created the ROME (Rss and atOM utilitiEs) project, an open source library designed to make writing syndication applications in java simpler.
I ported Sun ONE Portal Server to Sun, IBM and BEA application servers and worked on Sun Portal Collaboration suite.
Before that I used to work at Netscape and Accenture.
My resume is at P@ Resume and this is my most current blog.
Blog History
Over the past few years I have played with various blogging software. My old blogs can be found:
- From July 2006 to today I moved P@ Log to the PHP based Wordpress because my Ruby based blog crashed every hour.
- From May 2005 to July 2006, I started doing most of my personal hacking in Ruby, and Ruby On Rails, so I hacked the Rails based blog engine Typo to power P@ Log
- P@ Sunglasses: from april 2004 to april 2005, powered by Roller (java) based
- P@’s blog: from august 2004 to december 2004, powered by blojsom (java), mainly used to play with moblogging, posting pictures from my cell phone.
- Patrick Chanezon’s weblog: from July 2003-April 2004, powered by Movable Type (Perl)
- Patrick Chanezon’s Radio Weblog: from march 2002 to may 2003, powered by Userland Radio (Commercial, C, ActionScript)

Hi Patrick,
Nice blog! I was a super fan of google wave and when I search for the news of google wave, by chance I jump to your blog
It is kind of ??~?I don’t know how to say this in english…
?! I would like to briefly introduce myself and then ask you something…. I am now a post-doc researcher of biology at Paris. My supervisor, Prof. Francois Taddei is a super active scientist and is willing to promote some new open source web-tools for education and research. He gets fundings from France telecom and Bettencourt fondation for this dream. So we are going to work on a project called WISER-U (world-wide interactions for science, education and research) since this summer. And when we saw the video of google wave, we think it will definitely play an important role for our project. Next month, from July 6th to 12th and July 29th to August 3rd, we will be at Beijing and organize two workshops on our project with our collaborators at Peking University. You and your friends/colleagues are more than welcomed to spend some time with us in the workshop! You will meet my supervisor and several outstanding French students as well (We definitely will bring some good wines from Paris as well!! )! It will be even more exciting if you can share some experience on google wave and the other google products/applications with the best French and Chinese students. So…. what do you think? If you want I can send you more details of our workshops at Peking University. Again you and your colleagues/friends are sincerely welcomed!
By the way, don’t be surprised if you get an email from my supervisor Prof. Francois Taddei very soon…. He is also a big fan of google wave, open source, education and interdisciplinary research!
Looking forward to your reply,

[...] Patrick Chanezon citó a Borges “¿Qué son las nubes? ¿Una arquitectura del azar?” con su acento afrancesado en la key note sobre cloud computing. Las salas se llamaban Picasso y Pablo Nerd-uda. Algún chiste sobre el HTML5 y sus posibilidades con el vídeo o el cantado: “Google Maps integrará publicidad en el futuro”. Hablando de mapas alguien presentó una interesante aplicación argentina para el seguimiento satelital de vehículos en ese mashups (mezclas) Google y lo que más llamó la atención de los presentes en la charla de Google Wave, fue un robot Pulp Fiction.
