Mash Pit OpenID: PDX - 1/17/2007 ...

[Chris Messina]

Please note the distinction between Mash Pit and Mashup Camp -- there
is no such thing (yet) as Mashup Pit:

The importance of the distinction is legal, in that Mashup Camp is a
registered trademark and Mash Pit is not; instead, it is a community
mark:

I welcome whatever modifications and permutations to the Mash Pit
model you'd like to make, so long as the end goal is to focus on
solving "human problems"... which I think Scott's Mash Pit: OpenID
event will do.

Anyway, if anyone's interested in the Bay Area, I'd like to look at
hosting another Mash Pit, if not in December, probably sometime in mid
January.
