Wishlist Items

By Oyasumi | December 11, 2008

"I attended Add-on-con's open house meetup at Mozilla headquarters here in Mountain View earlier tonight, airing a wish list item of mine in the trailing discussion about what we want from Firefox, after some talks about what's coming up next, and where Mozilla want to go at the moment. It was a good session meeting friends and new acquaintances, and I even recognized a few faces from Mashup Camp a few weeks ago. Being the season for wishlists, I thought I'd sum up some of mine, on a more interesting scope than those we might share with our friends and family about items, activities and whatnot. Anything goes, high and low -- I even mention the point I brought up earlier during the evening...."

Thoughts About Mashup Camp '08

By Mozenda | December 1, 2008

"So, Mashup Camp ended about a week and a half ago and I’ve now had some time to reflect on what happened. While at the conference, we were running around all day doing demos, teaching people how to use the software, and meeting conference attendees and other sponsors. All in all the conference was a lot of fun. It was refreshing to be in a less structured conference environment even though it occasionally meant that things were a little more hectic. It was also refreshing to be around people who feel passionately about mashups...."

More Mashup Camp Moments

By Erik Eldridge, Julie Choi | November 25, 2008

People could roam unconferences, attend sessions, SpeedGeek, and compete in the best mashup contest. Activities ranged from optional to mandatory. This event was structured for geeks, by geeks....”

The Weekly Might Have Missed List 11/23/08

By Lee Potts | November 23, 2008

"Danny Thorpe, Architect of Disruption: Mashup Camp, Day 1 — “To make matters worse, the presenter had to talk his way around a number of technical difficulties, including (but not limited to): [ed. note: go to post to see list of technical difficulties]. All of that in 25 minutes. It’s a reassuring to know that even Google can have “those” kinds of demo days.”

Namespaces, Search, Network Gestures and the American Soft-White Cyber-Underbelly

By David Berlind | November 22, 2008

"On the drive home from Boston's Logan Airport after 7 hours of red-eye flying back from Mashup Camp in Silicon Valley, National Public Radio's Here & Now aired Robin Young's interview of Larry Wortzel, chair of the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, about China's alleged acts of cyberwarfare against the United States. What Wortzel said, right on the heels of what I heard O'Reilly Media founder and CEO Tim O'Reilly say about namespaces and search during his Mashup Camp keynote was enough to keep me awake and thinking for the 50-minute drive home...."

Mashup Camp 7 Wrapup

By Nicholas Moline | November 19, 2008

"As I Posted about last week, I attended Mashup Camp at the Computer History Museum this week. It has been a packed couple of days. I mentioned before I was not really considering entering the Speedgeeking Contest that occurs at each Mashup Camp. Last Spring’s Mashup Camp I was a bit depressed to come in last place, but this contest was different, this time they had one top prize (A MacBook Pro) awarded by attendee voting, but then the individual providers sponsoring the event also had their own contests of who had the best mashup using their service...."

"You wouldn't want a mashup for your bank account."

By Geoffrey Hendrey | November 18, 2008

"I am watching the opening panel discussion at Mashup Camp. Hart Rossman, CTO at SAIC just said "You wouldn't want a mashup for your bank account."

That really struck a chord because it captures the inadequacy with today's mashup security model. In fact, building a banking system on NextDB is sort of the logical extent of where the NextDB SURID technology can go.

Another interesting statement from one of the panelists:

"SLAs can't be that strong because you can't have really strong remedies." I agree.

"you're not going to get a new CRM system out of a mashup."

I disagree. Once the database is secure and mashable, the entire application software development lifecycle can be handled by mashups...."

Mashup Camp, Day 1

By Danny Thorpe | November 17, 2008

"I dropped by the Computer History Museum today CCF11172008_00000to check out this year’s Mashup Camp and see what’s hot and what’s not. Turnout was good, about the same as what I remember at Mashup Camp in 2006 (or was it 2007?) - roughly 150 people milling about.

Today was pretty much sponsor’s day - the speedgeeking and chalk talk presenters all appeared to be sponsoring the event in some way. I discovered a few new things interesting enough to dig into further, but I’m really hoping tomorrow will get back to the “directed anarchy” that un-conferences are famous for. No session tracks, no agendas, just time slots and rooms and a whiteboard (or wiki) where the conference attendees can nominate and vote for discussion topics they’d like to learn more about. If there’s sufficient interest and sufficient expertise in the audience to cover the topic, then poof! you have a session...."

MashUp Camp: Panel Discussion on Standards

By Judith Bush | November 17, 2008

"These are my Treo notes on the panel discussion

Monday, November 17, 2008 | 10:20am - 11:20am Write a mashup once, run it anywhere? Hardly. All AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) applications may not be mashups. But a great many mashups are AJAX applications. So long as the browser-based applications you’re building include AJAX code, that code is impacted by the tool used for development, the APIs being called, and the browsers it’s expected to run in...."

Mashups

By Susan Visser | November 17, 2008

Mashup Camp 2008

By Geoffrey Hendrey | November 16, 2008

"Tomorrow is Mashup Camp! I'm excited about this year's Mashup Camp because I think there is going to be a lot of activity around trying to figure out how to fuse mashups with Cloud Computing. And that, of course, is exactly where NextDB.net has a sweet spot. NextDB is fundamentally a mashable relational database in the cloud. What does that mean for the programmer? It means NextDB is the ONLY relational database that you can securely mashup, without have to write ANY serverside code...."

Empowering Decision Agility with the Cooperative Web

By Dan Gisolfi | November 15, 2008

Late Breaking News... In the spirit of Mashup Camp, where attendees are backstage with Mashup Industry insiders, IBM will be revealing for the first time at a public event our next generation mashup technology, Project Blue Spruce.

Mashups provide rich information and data visualization aids for decision-oriented meetings. The Cooperative Web extends these applications with mediated collaboration as well as real-time streaming high-definition video. IBM Project Blue Spruce is a reference implementation of the Cooperative Web that replicates the power of face-to-face communications by injecting the full range of sight, sound and touch into live web meetings. Attendees can augment their meetings with shared manipulation of mashups. Colleagues and friends can now work together using the web without sacrificing the human sensory experience of face-to-face communications.

See Project Blue Spruce in action at Mashup Camp:

  • Day 1 Speed Geeking Table #5
  • Day 1 Chalk Talk, Grand Hall B, 3:30pm PST
  • Day 1 Chalk Talk, Grand Hall A, 4pm PST
  • Day 1 OpenAjax Pavilion, 6:30pm PST
  • Days 1-3 at the IBM Booth
