MashupCamp

David Berlind announced his idea about Mashup Camp - the unconference about the uncomputer.
My goal for Mashup Camp is to do the opposite of what all these other Web 2.0-esque conferences are doing. It won't be invitation only. The pilot event will be modest in size guaranteeing intimacy and low or perhaps even no cost to attend (perfect for some of the people doing the real innovation on a low budget). And, it will involve a mix of open networking time, leader-facilitated discussions that address some of the most important issues and concerns that the API providers and the mashup artists actually need to work out, and fun (for example, a hottest mashup contest with an even hotter prize).

I was really excited once I've got email from David and further more we spoke over the phone about his idea. As author of MapBuilder.net I will definitely visit that event. Looking forward to see a schedule and reserve tickets for the Mashup camp.
Cya!
