What

Mash Pit Dallas #2 is a followup to MashPitDallas. Mash Pits are informal all-day hackfest for collaborating on solving human problems with open APIs, open source and web-based technology.

In the spirit of Factory Joe’s Mashpits, I have an idea we can all work on. Tim Williamson is the founder of The Idea Village, an entreprenuer bootstrapping/launching pad in New Orleans. The devastation all these months later isn’t just physical—‘our social networks are destroyed,’ he says. He did a triage grant program. Now wants to move it to the next level, making Idea Village the place people can go to get or contribute information & expertise so badly needed in the community. Idea Village, 2.0. Our mission, should we choose to accept, is to whiteboard up some ideas for how the Idea Village can leverage social media to aggregate, plus up, and spread info around NOLA.
