AS220
115 Empire Street, Providence, RI
After taking August off, Providence Geeks returns with a bang this coming Wednesday. It will be great to see everyone, and we’ve got an awesome evening lined up.
Providence-based Traction Software will be presenting its amazing TeamPage platform - think blogging software meets wiki software meets steriods. To give you a sense of how impressive TeamPage is, InfoWorld recently crowned it the “Best Enterprise Wiki” beating out some big names including Confluence and SocialText.
In addition, that evening, I’ll be joining Saul Kaplan, Executive Director of the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation, to give an exciting update (if I do say so myself) about one of the state’s info-tech & digital media sector efforts. I’m really psyched about this, and hope you’ll all be there for it.
Please RSVP in the comments section of this post so that we can give the good folks at AS220 an estimated headcount. And while you’re at it, subscribe to Providence Geeks’ RSS feed (see sidebar) and/or join our very-low-volume email announcement list (for the announcement list, send an email to Jack Templin, jtemplin over at Gmail with your name and affiliation).
As always, for first-timers here are the details on the Geek Dinners:
- It’s totally casual. Wear whatever, bring whoever, arrive and vamoose whenever… And don’t worry about eating or not – come famished or full – eating is optional, and frankly, the least of the festivities (that’s not say the food isn’t good—it’s actually great).
- Topics of conversation will vary as they will at any gathering of geeks, but many of us will be talking about AJAX, mash-ups, start-ups, new devices, innovative business models, interaction design, social computing, digital art, web services, etc. etc. etc.
- Food and beverages are for sale at the adjoining Taqueria Pacifica and bar.
- There is WiFi so bring your connected device of choice.

I’m in.
September 14th, 2007 08:15
I’ll be there. And boy, it’s about time someone figured out that what you really want is a combination of blogging and wikis—neither one substitutes for the other, but they work together so well!
September 14th, 2007 08:23
See you there.

September 14th, 2007 08:37
@Jerry, the food’s not free, but it is cheap (and delicious). Starving artists and starving entrepreneurs have more than a little in common. :-) It’ll be good to have some BizGrader folks there.
