Making the scene at Mashup Camp

Speaking of old guys, here’s a bunch of us old timers at the Mashup Camp scene.

In order - left to right - there’s Steve Gillmor (looking down), Dan Gillmor standing up, Bob Frankston (head turned - taking a shot of me and Dave), Dave Winer - standing up and me - smiling.

And what a scene it was. I got home (after a beautiful Chinese meal) and have a cold.  The youth and deep geeks - were out in force at the Computer Museum and all the major API vendors (Amazon, Google, eBay Yahoo) were in attendance.

Did you know that 45% of all of eBay’s listings come in through their APIs?

We met and talked about two ambitious projects - one a documentation project which would attempt at standardizing and normalising API documentation. eBay has something they’re willing to share with others.

Meanwhile Ross Mayfield led a session on standardizing contracts - and business terms.  Talk about ambitious!

I just want to standardize on terms - as even the term ‘open source’ is not clear.  Now go and try and define SLA (service level agreement) or specification.

It sure was weird to have Jonathan Schwartz giving away a Sun server in the former offices/showcase building of SGI.  I was telling a friend we were there and he said: “the moment SGI got that building - I knew they we dead.”  How true!

David Berlind and Doug Gold did a great job at ‘throwing’ this whole thing together.  I sure am looking forward to the next one!  Congrats dudes. [photos by Dan Farber]
