I’ve signed up for Mashup Camp, 11-12 November in Dublin. At first I couldn’t believe that this was a tech conference, because the website was so bad. I have no problem with the minimalist style of websites preferred by university professors and the like, but you’d never expect to see anything like this anywhere near a room full of web developers. Having said that, the design and usability of the website are my only concerns, because it looks like a good event and only €25 to sign up if you’re a developer. And even if you’re a starving student who can’t afford the €25, there’s a system in place to let someone else pay for you.

Got a mail on the Irish PHP Users Group saying that Tim Berners-Lee would be a keynote speaker… can’t see it anywhere on the Mashup Camp flyer though, so I don’t know if that’s true or not.

It also looks like I’ll be heading out to Berlin for the Web 2.0 Expo on 5-8 November. There’s so much stuff going on at that event that I haven’t been able to read through the schedule yet. Anyone else going that might be able to predict some of the most worthwhile talks?
