Mashup Camp 3 Notes | January 19, 2007
by Jeb Boniakowski
I’m making my way home from Mashup Camp 3 and finally catching up with the various blog posts about it. I thought Mashup Camp was pretty awesome, and honestly, I was a little bit surprised by it. That hippie-sounding Open Space Technology stuff like “whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened,” while clearly not true, creates a sufficient anti-conference vibe that people really do have much higher-quality discussions. After attending another traditional conference last week which will remain nameless, I’m a big buyer of the whole “unconference” concept. Most of the people there were really smart and passionate and fun to talk to. However, my main takeaway is that Mashup Camp should split in two. More on that below the fold.
