So now that we've got all these wicked-ass APIs, let's build something with them!!
Space is limited to 12, so if you're interested, drop me an email at barcamp at gmail dot com and lemme know what project/API you're working on or are familiar with and which other project/person/people you'd like to work with. This will be the first of many events, so if you don't get in this time, there will be more.
Possible things we can explore: JSONP for mash ups; possible work arounds for the security issues in JSONP; a universal web service API for RSS aggregators so we can see some innovation in this space again; how AMASS and dojo.storage can change the game for mashups, since you don't need a server for storage; using JSONP to provide a universal authentication system; just how far can we push not needing a server for AJAX/DHTML apps using maships?
By the way, right now the coworking space is a great place to work and can accomodate a fair number of people (check out pics of the space at http://codinginparadise.org/coworking); however, we are looking for larger, more affordable space that can accomodate these kinds of workshops, though, and turn into a permanent place where people can drop by, work, innovate, and have community. Imagine a permanent Bar Camp, or a contemporary Homebrew Computer Club; let's make it happen. If you have any leads on this email me at bkn3@columbia.edu.
