Super SuperHappyDevHouse6
I went to my first SuperHappyDevHouse -- the sixth and last this year. A very productive evening that I left around 4 am. SuperHappyDevHouse is scheduled to go until 7 am |).
I met and talked to several people; some I had just met briefly before like factoryjoe, aka Chris Messina, and many I talked to for the first time. The only distracting incongruence were the guys from Meetro. The Meetro product looks like a fun, interesting and useful tool. But they came in promoting, promoting, promoting while everyone else was there to learn and get work done. I suggest they find out what an event is about and see how to make their product fits into that environment.
Among the ideas and products demonstrated I found fascinating was iGlance, an open source real time collaboration system. And Rhyzomatic, a service to create a personal permalink that unites all your identities in one place.
I'm going to start working on ideas for features and capabilities in video based on the conversations and information presented
