[Frankie Roberto]

Hi all,

Do we have any more details for this event yet - location, times, etc?

Also, I'm presuming there will be free wi-fi and power?

First hack of the day - build a power generator and wifi hub from milk
bottle tops, washing up bottles and sticky-back plastic.

I know we'll probably talk about this first thing on Thursday, but just
wanted to put the question out there beforehand: how do you define what
is and isn't a 'mashup'?

The reason I ask is that I was just reading:
http://blog.programmableweb.com/2007/01/01/top-5-mashup-questions-for-20
07/ and thought that - just because 47% of ebay listings are performed
via their API - this doesn't necessarily have anything to do with
mashups, does it?

I had always assumed that a 'mash-up' was where data from multiple
sources (2+) had been combined (much like in music, where mash-ups are
mixes of multiple original songs). Just because you're using/re-using
an API, possibly building an application around someone else's API; does
this class as a mashup?

Thanks,

Dan

I'm with Dan on this one. I reckon you need two or more 'inputs' to
define an application as a 'mashup'. If you're 'just' using an api
then you're not mashing but consuming...

I agree you need at least two sources in order to be a mashup, however
the sources don't have to be data - they could be processing services
(like the ubiquitously used Yahoo term extractor, or Pipes) or
presentation services (Yahoo/Google maps, etc).
