Web Monday is an informal gathering (in and around Germany) aimed at bringing together developers, designers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, researchers, web pioneers, inventors, bloggers, podcasters, end users and other folks interested in web 2.0 (in the broadest sense). The goal is to better connect the German web 2.0 scene as well as improve transatlantic idea exchange between Germany and the US.
Since its inception in November 2005, Web Monday has spread fast: meetings are now being held in 15+ cities all across Germany on a regular basis and have attracted several hundred repeat participants so far. Meetings have also been held in Vienna (Austria) and Innsbruck (Austria) as well as on Second Life.
There will be light snacks and drinks (we may ask for a small contribution from those who can afford it). ;-)
We especially welcome our fellow Europeans. Come on over! There's plenty we can learn from each other.
Web Monday recently launched its new blog. If we could get reports from Austin after the event (text, audio, or even video), that'd be great. That way, folks in Germany can follow your conversation.
Since the group will be small and there are no suggestions of venue, would it be appropriate to keep the first one informal, and meet somewhere like a restaurant or coffeeshop? I'd like to suggest Austin Java or La Madelaine, both on N. Lamar, or Progress Coffee at 5th and San Marcos.
Sounds good. How about Austin Java 7pm tomorrow. We'll keep it informal, but if anyone wants to show what they are working on or has come across an interesting project, feel free to give us an on the spot presentation :)
