I'm just back from the Net2 Mashup Challenge conference. Our Volunteer Now project didn't place in the top 3 - but it sure was a great experience to attend and I feel lucky to have been selected to do so. One of the best things about the conference is that it brought together new people and projects. For example, the team that we brought to Net2 consisted of myself, Imran Sobh, and Lynne Hensler. We all met via the Net2 blog and for the first time in person at the event. Imran turns out to have been studying mobile phone volunteerism for his senior masters thesis project at CMU (how serendipitous). The project itself went into high gear as a result of the conference- and it comes out stronger. I heard many such stories at the conference... props to the Net2 staff for putting in so much work to make the event happen. And great to have met so many dynamic passionate people.
