Hi all,
I'm hoping to build some interest in developing something other than
just a web/mobile application during Startup Weekend. I imagine the
hardware hackers here would have a lot to contribute in this regard.
Portland Startup Weekend is kind of a mix between an unconference and a
weekend-long development sprint. You show up, pitch project ideas, form
teams, and work your ass off all weekend and see what comes out of it.
If the stars align right and your team gels, you may even find yourself
becoming a co-founder of a new tech startup company.
It's certain to be a lot of fun, and it's only $75 to register (students
can register for $40). Friday night there will also be some great
presentations to get things going on the right foot.
For more details, visit http://portland.startupweekend.org
I'm planning to be there, and I'm especially interested in any product
ideas that would involve an embedded Linux project. I've posted a few
concepts on the Comment Wall of the Portland Startup Weekend community site:

It recently occurred to me that sensor networks would also be a
compelling concept to pursue.
Ping me off-list if you'd like to get in touch.
Scott
