This mashathon will be distributed across several locations. The idea is that this approach will make it easier to participate no matter where you live--and be a test bed to see if your library might want to be a host location in the future. Because this is the first time doing it this way, the Mashathon will be held at the same time in three different OCLC offices:

• Washington, DC
• Columbus, OH
• San Mateo, CA

How will it work?

• We plan to webcast the presentation and hands on activity portions of the mashathon to all locations.
• Participants at each location to have time to work collaboratively on projects together.
• Each location will have members of the Developer Network team there in person to act as hosts and answer questions.
• We'll use chat, IRC, video conference, and webcasting to facilitate communication between participants at all three locations. If a participant has a question that requires a particular person's expertise, then we'll get together virtually.
• Groups will have a chance to present their Mashathon project(s) and we'll webcast the "Show and Tell" wrap-up back to the other locations and the Web at large.

This is a grand experiment for the Developer Network, but it seems well worth it if it gives you the chance to attend a mashathon with fewer travel expenses and more opportunities to collaborate with other far-flung developers.
