Around the MashupCamp fire
MashupCamp is getting underway this morning at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. About 300 mashers have gathered to geek out on the latest innovations in Web- based applications. As my colleague and MashupCamp head counselor David Berlind said, it’s the "only event where mashup developers get to rub shoulders with API providers, mashup enablers – for example, The Eclipse Foundation(attending!) – and other mashup developers in a way that can only accelerate the evolution and pace of innovation in the just now-emerging mashup ecosystem." Plenty of junk food, blogging, podcasting, and mashing up.
