We want to give a shout-out to O’Reilly for showing their support of Seattle Mind Camp 2.0 by sponsoring the event.
O’Reilly Media spreads the knowledge of innovators through its books, online services, magazine, and conferences. Since 1978, O’Reilly has been a chronicler and catalyst of leading-edge development, homing in on the technology trends that really matter and spurring their adoption by amplifying “faint signals” from the alpha geeks who are creating the future. An active participant in the technology community, the company has a long history of advocacy, meme-making, and evangelism.
And you thought a FooCamp-Mind Camp connection would be a conflict of interest…

Another way to connect: the Seattle Mind Camp OPML file
Posted by Stuart Maxwell Categories: Upcoming,
You know, I love the OPML, especially for uploading my favorite bloggers into sites like Newsvine. It’s no muss, no fuss… very handy. But sometimes I’m just too lazy to bother with all that typing, cutting, and pasting. Fortunately for me, Alex Barnett has once again done the heavy lifting for me and assembled a Seattle Mind Camp OPML file, available here: http://www.extremepodcasting.com/opml/seattlemindcamp_opml.xml.
If you’re not on the outline yet, and you’d like to be, just leave a comment here and Alex will hook you up.
We wanted to throw a “Thank You” out to LizardTech for stepping up as a sponsor for Seattle Mind Camp 2.0:
Since 1992, LizardTech has delivered state-of-the-art technology for managing and distributing massive, high-resolution digital content. Government and non-government organizations alike have benefited from our software products and technologies. We pioneered MrSID(r) (Multiresolution Seamless Image Database), a powerful wavelet-based image encoder, viewer and file format. LizardTech sits on the OGC Technical Committee and has been a chief contributor in extending the capabilities of JPEG 2000 to geospatial applications. Along with our partners, Galdos Systems, we are helping to drive cross-platform interoperability and rapid Internet distribution for geospatial imagery via the GeoWeb through the XML-based Geography Markup Language. LizardTech’s partnership with Oracle will enable databases to store and retrieve wavelet imagery. As we advance the imaging frontier LizardTech will offer software and solutions that integrate imagery into the next generation of data storage and network systems.

I have just started putting the Mind Camp attendee list into the left-hand column. As of this moment, we have 173 people registered and only 27 tickets left! Go ahead and let someone know about Mind Camp so we can fill this thing up. If you have already registered, but don’t see your name on the attendee list, I just haven’t gotten to you yet. I hope to have the list caught up by tomorrow afternoon.
Ah, the hyperlink. Such a simple concept, yet so powerful. The mighty link conveys authority, and It weaves together thought. It can connect people, ideas, and concepts. It might have the character of a nod between strangers on a busy sidewalk, of a sidelong glance, or of a longing gaze.
Have I been spending too much time indoors?
Well, that’s as may be. There’s just been so much too see online. We’ve had more Mind Camp mentions from Strangle (what a handle), Ken (again), Andru (our fearless leader), Al (you’re no nerd), Zhonka Broadband (bringing a posse), and Emma Rose (we’re psyched to see you, too!). Ario‘s been showing us the love and reminding us of the basics (you don’t need to sleep over—good point, Ario).

You can’t make a Mind Camp without breaking a dozen eggs
Posted by Stuart Maxwell Categories: Upcoming,
12 days to go…
Oy, what a weekend. Next year we’re hiring an accountant. Life is just so much better when people who know what they’re doing help you do what you need to do. Don’t you think?
Speaking of helping people, If you’ve been to Mind Camp before and you’ve already signed up for SMC2, why not consider volunteering this time around to be a Camp Counselor? (Didja notice the segue? Smooth, huh?)
We need some folks to help with the various logistical tasks that crop up on the day of the camp, and to help answer questions and serve as additional points of contact for your fellow attendees. By volunteering just a bit of your time over the course of the weekend, you’ll be helping to make sure things run smoothly for everyone. And, hey… chicks dig authority figures.
Now, I can’t promise that you’ll get anything out of this other than the satisfaction of starting a Seattle Mind Camp tradition, but if that’s enough for you, then .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and let me know you’re interested. (And if you know any good accountants, let me know that, too, wouldja? Oy!)
