MAKE Magazine‘s blog has a great picture (and links to more) of the first Ignite Boston. (I love the laptop used as a countdown clock. ) This is what happened there.
Imagine! “[W]all-to-wall FOOs, alpha geeks, and techies from the greater Boston area.” (I think foo in this setting means high-level discussion, action or both, but would welcome an explanation from someone with experience.)
I can imagine Victoria Weinstein (PeaceBang) — if I may pick on her for a moment — doing on-the-spot clergy make-overs! Or sharing some insight on how to deal with a television producer. Or playing the BANJO.
