Media Web Meetup tonight!

By stevel stevel

Holy crap, I totally forgot to blog that we’re having the fourth Media Web Meetup tonight at our nest!

This month we’ve decided to talk about mashups from a musical point of view. We’re bringing in some pretty awesome DJs (DJ Earworm and Kid Kameleon) to demo, talk about what tools they use online to find, create, mashup, distribute and promote their music and what really irks them about the current state of the web.

Rob Lord will help tie this back to technology, the open media web and mashups online and how this can address some of this.

6pm (yes that’s in 2 hours) at our office!

DevCamp rockin’ the nest

By stevel stevel

Songbird is hosting a Songbird DevCamp this weekend January 19th & 20th at our office in San Francisco.

If you’re hacking on the Top 40, or are just interested in hacking on Songbird stuff in general and want a room full of like-minded people to hang out, eat, and drink with - then you’re invited!

Sat & Sun, 10a to 5pm. We’ll bring the building, power, wi-fi, food, drinks, and beer…. you bring the brains and a laptop.

In other top 40 news, check out the progress! We’ve got 11 completed, and 6 more in testing. I love that extension developers are picking things up, popping into the IRC channel, asking questions, and getting involved. The # of people in #songbird has grown by quite a lot recently.

Portable Playlist Panel Powwow (12/11 @ 5pm!)

By stevel stevel


Songbird is hosting the next in our series of Media Web Meetups next Tuesday, December 11th.

This one promises to be awesome; we’ve got some heavyweights in the realm of portable playlists coming over to have a panel discussion about the future of how music lovers are going to listen to their media on the go.

On the panel so far: Tantek Çelik (former Chief Technologist of Technorati, and microformats expert), Lucas Gonze (XSPF and portable playlist guru), Scott Kveton (Open Technology Lead at MyStrands) and Tom Conrad (CTO of Pandora).

Wow! How star-studded is that cast?

The panel starts at 6pm at our offices here at 585 Howard, but Lucas will be giving a one hour talk on XSPF and the history of portable playlists to provide some context to the panel at 5pm.
