DC 2.0 Launches

It seems I spend half my time

elsewhere—San Francisco, New York, Boston, or in transit — so I am glad
to say that Dion Hinchcliffe, Ken Yamosh, and I decided to set up a
metro DC salon to bring together locals interested in all things Web
2.0. We have dubbed it DC 2.0, and we plan to start having regular events, although the tempo remains to be established. Check out the site: www.dc20.org. There is also an Eventful group started, so you can subscribe to meeting information there, as well.

Our first get-together is scheduled for 15 Mar 2006: an evening with
networking, a panel session on The State of Web 2.0 (featuring the
three conspiritors), and demos from two or three local startups. Contact me
if you are interested in demoing. We don’t have a venue yet — that will
be driven by the number of people registering — but we plan to have it
near or in Reston.

We are also soliciting sponsors who would
like to support the event. Please contact me if you’d like learn more
about sponsorship.
