BarCamp DC this Weekend

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

Just a quick reminder that BarCamp DC is this weekend. We’re all really looking forward to it — for those of you that will be there, see you Saturday!

Data Sharing Summit

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007

Happily and with much interest, some of the Clearspring team will be heading over to CA in a month or so for the Data Sharing Summit. This is a pseudo-formal meeting, with stated objective:

The goal of the Data Sharing Summit is to get a number of the key players, developers and platforms in the social networking, blogging and associated ’social software’ platforms togeher in one room and hash out a bunch of key issues:

  • interop testing between disparate systems
  • standardized schemas, protocols and APIs
  • mapping to proprietary platforms
  • on-going efforts, including worldwide meetings

Should be fun, kudos to Marc Canter for kicking it off and Kaliya Hamlin for heading up the organization as well.

DC Area Meetups

Monday, July 16th, 2007

Wanted to quickly let folks know that I/we will be hanging out and participating in some DC-local events, here are two on my mind at the moment:

If you’re local, or nearby, come!

Also, we’re planning a Clearspring meetup for the late summer/early fall as well, to kick off a broader set of meetups. If you’d be interested in coming, let me know here! I’ll guage interest and we’ll go from there.

Long live the nation’s capital.

P.S., the DC Tech Events site is a great way to keep up with local goings-on in our not-the-valley locale.

In DC? Let’s BarCamp!

Wanted to let you know that there’s an upcoming BarCamp here in the nation’s capital on August 3/4 (cool).  We’ll be there!  If you’re somewhere in the vicinity, would love to meet up and talk some tech.  We’re big fans of the BarCamp concept, and Justin’s doing a great job organizing this one.
