MashupCamp This Week
Another MashupCamp is happening this week on July 12 and 13 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA.
Schedule and logistics can be found here. If you've never been to one, reading this will give you a flavor of what to expect:
"We will once again host a round of Speed Geeking where we invite the developers and Mashup Artists to compete for the Best Mashup. Each artist will demonstrate their mashup(s) and attendees will then cast their votes for Best at Camp."
In their words, mashups (be they software or content-oriented) are most often characterized by the way they draw upon functionality and/or content from two or more sources (at least one of which is third-party to the developer) to produce a new creative work. For example, if a birdwatcher "mashed up" her own database of birdsightings (by GPS coordinates) with the functionality and content of Google Maps, the resulting visual presentation where the locations of birdsightings are interactively overlayed on top of a map within the context of a Web browser could be considered a mashup.
