What

 

An all day colaborative hackfest, mashing up various already-built technologies to solve problems expressed in human terms, rather than technological terms.

 

the tag is mashpitsf3

 

Agenda: define problems, assign teams, build, report --apps and code

 

Specifically:

 

10:00 Intro to the event
10:10 Participant introductions 1
10:30 Survivor voting and break into teams
11:10 Begin hacking!
12:30 Lunch in teams
15:30 Half-hour warning, wrap up presentations
16:00 Team mini-report backs: 90x2 2
17:00 Event close

 

1 Name, what you do, the problem you'd like to work on in 1 sentence -- which will get written on the board for voting

2 Each team has 90 seconds to report back and present, following by 2 audience questions

 

Possible human problems to focus on:

 

  • Making event organizing easier! Sharing and shared events and venues and contacts via microformats + APIs.
  • Making remote participation in Mashpits and Barcamps easier and more accessible
  • Making knowing what's going on as easy as finding driving directions (cough Mapendar cough)
  • ...add your own!

 

Where

 

Wharton West - sponsored by Supernova

101 Howard Street, Suite 500

San Francisco, California 94105

 

  • Jeanne Logozzo is the facilities contact.

 

Getting There

 

 

When

 

June 20, 2006, tentatively 10am - 6pm. (End time necessitated by the facilities, and besides, we gotta go eat and then go to the microformats.org party that night). Don't forget BarCampSanFrancisco that following Friday night through Sunday afternoon.

 

Hosts / Planners

 

 

 

Participants

 

This is a multi-disciplinary event... meaning that we want designers, developers, marketers, thinkers and reality-checkers... no more bubbles -- we want cross-polination! If you want in, like technology, to build things or asking good questions, you should come to Mash Pit.

 

(Limited to 15-45 people -- don't worry, we'll be having more 'pits (or, start your own!))
