Papercamp NY 2009
What is PaperCamp?
A chance to get together, in order to talk about, and fiddling, printing, and making things with, paper.
PaperCamp was suggested by Matt Jones, and kicked off with a post on his blog.
The first PaperCamp was a subset of BookCamp, held in the UK in January 2009. If you're looking to get an idea of what topics could be covered by this event, you might want to check out the links below.
