OStatus: distributed status updates

OStatus is an open standard for distributed status updates. The goal is a specification that allows different messaging hubs to route status updates between users in near-real-time.

OStatus' goal is to help you to follow people on different social networks. It is a specification and usage of several web standards to allow this functionality, technically. This is most useful for sending status updates to friends around the world in your networks (but often different companies' networks).

The current specification is at level 1.0.

Stashboard: open source status page for cloud services and APIs

Stashboard is a status dashboard for APIs and software services. It's similar to the Amazon AWS Status Page or the Google Apps Status Page. Stashboard was originally written by Twilio to provide status information on its Voice and SMS APIs. Stashboard is designed to provide a generic status dashboard for any hosted service or API. The code can be downloaded, customized, and run on any Google App Engine account.

Track multiple different API or SaaS services
Set custom status messages and icons such as Up/Down
Show historical status for each service
Runs on Google App Engine so it's independent of your infrastructure (unless your app is on GAE)
Full REST API for both getting and setting status information
