Boston MashUp Camp

I hung out with David Berlind in Vegas last week and heard about some of the details of the East Coast MashUp Camp at MIT this week in Boston.

I keep having to remind East Coasters - throw events in cold climate cities (yes, Boston counts) during warm temperature months -- not January please. Regardless, I'm sorry to miss it. Schedule here and then there's registration if you can still make it.

Mashup Camp 3 will be conducted Open Space style. Interesting analogy they refer to: "Speed geeking is like speed dating. Developers and others with a technology to demo will set up stations and attendees will spend five minutes at each station before moving to the next one at the sound of a buzzer."

Principles of Open Space include:

* Whoever comes are the right people.
* Whatever happens is the only thing that could have.
* Whenever it starts is the right time.
* When it is over, it is over.
* Document your session on the wiki.
