3rd SciFoo Camp, Googleplex, August 8-10, 2008!
Posted by attilachordash on April 23, 2008
The 3rd Science Foo Camp, organized by Nature, O’Reilly Media, and
Google will be held on August 8-10 and hosted at the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA.
From the mail: “Now in its third year, Sci Foo is already achieving cult status among those with a passion for science and technology. The Economist said that it “capture[s] the essence of innovation”; in a photo essay for Edge, George Dyson wrote of the “the impossible choice” when deciding which sessions to attend; another attendee described it simply as “The best gathering ever. Period.”

Any dates yet for BioBarCamp? I’ll be at SciFoo, and BioBarCamp looks like a lot of fun, too!

Michael, wow, a real quantum computation nerd, it would be good to meet with you. I just set up a public Google group for BioBarCamp, anyone can join: http://groups.google.com/group/biobarcamp and my suggested date is 6th, August.

Hi Attila — I’ve moved on from quantum computing, I now work fulltime on net-related stuff, including things like SciBarCamp. I’m not a biologist, but I hope some outsiders will be welcome at BioBarCamp!
