It's over!

The second GonzoCamp event was held Nov. 13 under the globe at the Seattle P-I building. The after-party, sponsored by MSNBC, allowed those who couldn't participate a chance to join in.

GonzoCamp: Programming the Future of News

GonzoCamp is a FREE event for journalists, programmers, entrepreneurs, web designers and students to come together, pitch ideas for innovation in news and journalism, then get to work building the future.

It's a chance to take the persistent conversation about the future of news and journalism in a digital world and put some action into it. Instead of panel discussions lamenting the demise of the way things were, we prefer to roll up our sleeves and build something.

For group reports on Friday's event, see the Projects page.

Thanks to our sponsors:

Sold out: Unfortunately, the space limitations of the room required us to keep the group relatively small. (We'll fix that next time.) Fortunately several people who didn't participate were able to catch up with the participants at the after-party, sponsored by MSNBC. Yes, a good time was had by all.

The inaugural GonzoCamp "sold out" in a matter of days and was held Friday, May 22, 2009 at the University of Washington. We'd like to thank everyone who came out and participated. Three teams built three really cool prototypes and the feedback from participants about the event exceeded everyone's expectations for a first-time, experimental event.
