iStrategyLabs is interested in building communities around technology, so when it comes to DevCamps, we love organizing and sponsoring them whenever possible.
There will be at least 4 DevCamps in Washington DC over the next year, and the first one is WidgetDevCamp on 1/25 and 1/26. Peter Corbett is co-organizing and iStrategyLabs is a sponsor.
What is WidgetDevCamp?
WidgetDevCamp is a DevCamp-style event in Washington DC for anyone interested in Widget and modular app development.
It will be a chance for discussion, learning and some collaborative widget hacking. Come and share information on the latest topics in widget development, and see what kinds of prototypes can be built with a group of smart folks together in one place for a day or two.
Designers, developers, product marketers — anyone interested in the potential of widgets and other distributed applications (including Facebook/OpenSocial) — come on out!
You can RSVP for the event here. And full details can be found at WidgetDevCamp.org.
