Less talk, more action: GonzoCamp is back
To keep the spirit of news innovation alive and burning brightly, it’s time for the second edition of GonzoCamp: Programming the future of news.
It’s like a hack day, code sprint, barcamp, barn raising or many other tech-geek terms for unstructured events. This one-day event brings journalists, programmers, entrepreneurs, web designers and students together to build something cool and, hopefully, useful. The first event, held in May, “sold out” quickly and produced three interesting prototypes by three different teams in a matter of hours.
This time, we’ll be under the globe at the Seattle P-I. How’s this for irony? A news innovation event at the headquarters of the first metropolitan daily newspaper to go completely digital. (Thanks to Michelle Nicolosi and Monica Guzman for making it happen.)
If you can make it to Seattle on Nov. 12-13 (or are already in the area), visit the GonzoCamp site and reserve a ticket. There is a limited number and the Journalist tickets sold out quickly last time.
If you’re not local, sit tight. We’re working on plans to bring GonzoCamp to more than a dozen cities in 2010. If you are interested in sponsoring an event in your town, drop me a line.
