Friends of Mashup Camp
First, a special thanks go to our board of advisors:
Without their invaluable insight, wisdom, and advice (after all, isn't that what advisors do?), Mashup Camp would most certainly have been a flop.
Then, these companies and/or individuals helped to make Mashup Camp Winter 2006 a success through the provision of the listed item(s). Individuals who made a financial contribution are listed at the bottom:
Technology
Socialtext is the official wiki provider for Mashup Camp Winter 2006.
Box.net is providing Web hosting to mashup developers who need it during Mashup Camp.
In da' house (facility sponsors)
The Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA is the first institution to play host to Mashup Camp. Please consider making a contribution to the Computer History Museum.
Since it was becoming increasingly difficult to write a unique, colorful blurb for each sponsor-in-kind that has stepped up to help with the facility costs, we've come up with a consolidated blurb that mentions all of the vendors that have chipped in to help cover the facility costs that were necessary in order to make Mashup Camp possible. Some people have said costs? What costs? Well, in addition to the venue itself, there's insurance, clean up fees, extra bandwidth for the museum's backbone, etc, etc. Which vendors chipped in? In alphabetical order, they are: Adobe, A9, An Amazon.com Company, America Online, ExactTarget.com, SixApart and SpikeSource.
