Let's get all the Gulf Coast geeks together and build something for someone who needs our help.

 

Maybe it's time we do a BarCamp here in New Orleans. In addition to connecting digital folks, sharing what we know and what we're working on, maybe we can pick a team project to do as well.

 

I'd like to find a struggling small business we could help immediately with a new site or enhanced Web services. Spend a weekend cranking as a team and launch the thing at the end of the weekend. We can get help from our friends everywhere with regard to code, design, ideas. Brains, we have them at the ready.

 

Chris Schultz: how big is your space? Can you host a BarCamp there?

 

If anyone else is interested, let me know. Let's figure out a time that makes sense as well. Maybe mid-November?

 

Marnie Webb (of NetSquared) has a NOLA non-profit in mind. Depending on how much interest we get, perhaps we can set up a few teams and do a few projects during the jam session. I think the first MashPit had like 12 people and produced 3 comp'd up Web services.

 

Idea: get a bunch of vloggers and podcasters to go out on the Friday before the event and tell untold stories. Maybe an editing jam session that night. A showcase? Start Sat. off with some vids?
