Hey all, As y'all may or may not know, Tara and I have been putting together the plan (aka doing as little as humanly possible in true *camper spirit!) to pull off a BarCamp within the Web 2.0 Open/Expo next week.
From the looks of it, we're going to have ourselves a mighty fine
time.
Now, one piece of the puzzle that y'all may not know about is the hacktacular Mashroom that we'll be holding on Tuesday and Wednesday, from 1-7pm on both days. What's a Mashroom you ask? Well! If any of you have been to a Hack Day, Developer Day, Mash Pit or otherwise collaborative day of building and making use of OPA (other people's APIs), you know what I'm talking about. http://www.socialtext.net/web2open/index.cgi?the_mashroom If not, well, the idea is essentially to carve out some 20% time for the rest of us, where company lines don't apply, NDAs get checked at the door and all code should be open and free as the freest of freedoms. This time around, here's what we're going to attempt... we'll see how it goes. If you can make it, show up at 1pm on Tuesday in the designated Mashroom (there'll be signs!) ... who ever is there will get put on teams of 3-5, and we'll figure out what each team is going to build then or leave it open, but by 6pm on Wednesday, all coding has to be finished and teams have to be ready to present their 120 second pitch and blow us all away. No idea about prizes, but at the least, the winners will take home mega gloating rights and glory. ;) So, this should be a good time and I'd love to see some good microformats representin' here. Here's the link again: http://www.socialtext.net/web2open/index.cgi?the_mashroom If you have any questions, thoughts or inspirations, let me know. Hope to see y'all next week!
