At the Campfire One Tuesday night, an occasional camp-themed developer meet-up at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., the company announced the Google Apps Marketplace.
The business app store will allow users to buy third-party applications to run on top of the Google Apps suite, said Vic Gundotra, vice president of engineering for Google.
With the launch of the marketplace, Google is enabling software developers to integrate user account and application data from Google Apps into professional businesses' services that will run in the cloud.

Google's Campfire One
Inside a makeshift camping tent at Google's Campfire One event, guests warmed up with hot cider during the introduction of the business app store.
All-in-one suite
Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Chat applications can be integrated directly into the software development tools so users do not have to leave the window to find useful information and details relevant to the specific account.
Google Apps Marketplace
Dave Glazer, Google's director of engineering, outlines a few of the business-focused tools being developed.
Campfire smoores
Snacks for the camping-themed event include mini gourmet s'mores, cornbread, trail mix, and chili.
Indoor campfires
The Campfire One developer meet-up was originally scheduled to be held outdoors, under the stars, with developers roasting s'mores over campfires. But because of bad weather, the event was moved indoors under the warm glow of artificial campfires.
App Marketplace
Developers working on apps for the Apps Marketplace can integrate user account and application data from Google Apps into professional businesses' services that will run in the cloud, Glazer says.
Manymoon's Amit Kulkarni
During the Google Apps Marketplace event Tuesday night, Manymoon CEO Amit Kulkarni demonstrates his company's social productivity application, which helps teams get projects done online.
Available Apps
Many applications from dozens of companies are already available immediately inside the Google Apps Marketplace.
