Subject: General question about hosting a hacker meetup or camp (at Stanford)

Hi,

I've picked up this thread as I on the mailing list, and I hope you
don't mind that I've approached you regarding my interest in putting
together a hacker meetup, open-source convention, or camp (depending on
how I label it).

Following Google I/O, I'd like to put together a gathering centered on
the versatile Emacs editor and the Getting Things Done philosophy
(including org-mode).  I'm open to having a few key expert speakers talk
about exciting things they are doing with Emacs and to manage their
information theoretic lives.  But I'd like it also to be a gathering
where all attendees feel free to share their thoughts and code, to
collaborate, and to create.  It could also be a great opportunity for
Emacs and lisp developers to work out any bugs or important feature
enhancements in Emacs because everyone will together for the same
purpose.  And because learning about lisp can give a student inspiration
on advanced programming paradigms, the gathering can positively
influence students and promote networking and learning.

I'd like to host the gather at Stanford, or alternatively Google.

If you have any suggestions on this, or feedback on my goals, please let
me know.  Also, I'd appreciate if you let me know suggestions on others
who I can approach at Stanford about the idea.  I look forward to
hearing from you.

Regards

Michael L Crogan

Hi,

Thanks for forwarding that.  I just wanted to direct people to reply to
"mcrogan at email.com", as the "Cc:" field included in the forwarded
message was a misspelled version of my email address (it would reach a

Got this question from a friend. Any input?

Hi Henrik

Do you know any website software that supports user-generated browsing and
uploads (preferably with 'most popular' etc)?

Something like:
http://www.algodoo.com/algobox/ or
http://www.openprocessing.org/browse/

Ideally a solution is based on mysql and php.

Why use a free hosted tool that just works out of the box when you can spend 50+ laborious hours building your own in Drupal? I kid, the actual time to develop this in Drupal is your age divided by the number of years you've spend in Drupal, times the square root of how many friends you have. 

Vijoy is one of our leading DMS guys, what do you say Abraham?
