Today, Luke Closs, Matthew O’Connor, Kirsten Jones, and I will be at Web2Open, a small conference-within-a-conference, Barcamp-style, at Web 2.0 Expo, in Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. We’ll be hanging out in the Mashroom and then, at 5pm, leading a discussion about blikis, wikis, workflow, and basically “stuff to build on top of wikis” like Blikistan and Hydra. Probably Luke will give a sneak preview of his upcoming talk for YAPC, “Hacktastic Wiki Tricks“.
In the tradeshow or expo hall, I think Jeff Brainard is going to be at a booth doing demos and talking with people, so go say hi to him!
Ross Mayfield will be talking Wednesday morning at 9:40 as one of the keynote speakers, along with Dan Farber (ZDNet), Satish Dharmaraj (Zimbra) and Matthew Glotzbach (Google Enterprise), in a panel called “Web 2.0 for the Enterprise: Is it Soup Yet?”. His other panel is on Wednesday afternoon, Web 2.0 for the Enterprise: What Corporations Really Want and Use, with Rob Rueckert (Intel), Michael Lenz (Cisco), David Meyer (BEA), and Joe Schueller (P&G).
Meanwhile, Socialtext developer Ingy dot Net, from YAPC::Asia or an undetermined hackathon in Tokyo (I can’t quite pin down his location but it involves cosplay and fast motorcycles) has created Document::Parser which he explains in completely plain (to him) English what his new code does. I like the bit where he boasts that “The wikitext parser is now so simple that it is conceivable that my boss could hack on it.” That gave me a good laugh. Ross, are you ready to get your hack on?
