Go Camping in Cambridge, This Weekend and Next

Two really cool "unconference" events are on the way in Cambridge...

The first is MacCamp, on Saturday May 10th in Central Square. This is the first time MacCamp is being held here... There's also a pre-camp event at betahouse on May 9th.

And next weekend is the third edition of BarCampBoston -- also in Cambridge.

Props to Mike Walsh, who's helping to organize both events.

Bringing Together Web 2.0ers in Boston

I'm really glad that Carolyn Johnson wrote this great piece in Saturday's Globe. It makes note of just how many different efforts there are to bring together the Web 2.0 community in Boston: communal workspaces like Betahouse in Central Square, as well as regular gatherings like TastyBytes, OpenCoffee, Web Innovators Grouip, and Tech Cocktail, which is taking place for the first time on September 6th.
