j - March 14, 2006 @ 3:14 pm · Meetings

It’s Boston Weblogger Meetup Week!

  • Introductions
  • Zachary & Mark on Mashup Camp – POSTPONED til next week
  • Anyone want to tell us about SXSW? Perhaps next week would be better for this item …
  • Erica talks about the upcoming WordPress option for Berkman-hosted blogs, and current need for beta-testers of the new server and the Manila migration script.
  • Anyone who went to Dan Gillmor on Tuesday or David Weinberger on Wednesday wanna tell us about it?
  • There’s a 6 pm talk Thursday at the Fogg Museum about the cultural and scientific significance of collecting and deploying newspaper clippings called Clipping Culture. Sounds like what lots of us bloggers do electronically.
  • Pito Salas’ Geek Dinner Wednesday, March 29, at 6:30 p. RSVP required.
  • Upcoming blog meeting stuff in the works:
    • Andy Carvin, bandwidth waster, international traveler, blogger, sharer of fabulous tails and tales, who does really important things, has a new book coming out. He plans tell us about it on April 6. The book is available as a pdf or for free from this link.

  • Eat:
    • This week: Cambridge Common (look for Ann, Mal, & Craig)
      • Although we realize that for some people, knowing the restaurant location before the Meetup is very helpful, we decided not to choose one this week because choosing them beforehand is proving to be much more problematic than we thought it would be. We will be at the Berkman Center until at least 8 pm, if not 8:30 pm. We will try to remember to post the restaurant location on the blog when we decide where to go.
    • Last time: Changsho
      • *j sniffles at missing Changsho
