wikiCalc Screencast

Dan Bricklin prepared a screencast (7Mb, .swf) as an introduction to using wikiCalc.  In it, you will see him paste from Excel and mashup stock quote and charting feeds.  The Associated Press posted a in-depth profile of Dan that's a great read.  Also read his blog posts working with Socialtext and the Beta release.

UPDATE: Podcast with Eric Lundquist from eWeek and Dan Bricklin.

MashupCamp

It's all happening.  MashupCamp is a loosely joined open space event for mashing APIs and open source.  Socialtext set up a Kwiki for the event, which will be at least one day between February 18th-25th around Palo Alto. Co-organizers David Berlind and Doug Gold are nailing down the location, but signups for a maximum of 250 developers and observers are open.

Using my supreme design skills, I whipped up a logo:

Which sucked, so Pete Kaminski made one:

Which is a trip.  And Chris Radcliffe made one too:

Now the logos are in rotation on the wiki.  You too can contribute one (expect modest fame, possibly T-shirts, no fortune), and people are voting on this wiki page. 

Oh, and huge hat tips to FooCamp, BarCamp, Ward Cunningham, Kwiki and the Open Space Method.
