StatusCampLA is the first StatusCamp in LA.

Announcement
Come one! Come all, to the first StatusCamp unconference in LA. It will be held on Friday, February 19, 2010 at the SCALE conference venue, Westin LAX in Concourse B, from 10 AM until 5 PM. @Brion, @Zach, @Nate, myself (@rejon) and Emma (@emmajane) will be in attendance. Come on out! Lead a session and join in the fun! Since this is an unconference, please arrive at start-time to help set the schedule for the day. Topics for StatusCampLA will be general from technical discussions to micro-blogging standards to general software development practices in usage of Status.Net. We hope you will come out to the event! Please RSVP to this FREE event by sending your name to http://identi.ca/rejon or email jon@status.net. We want to know how much coffee and snacks to bring. I made up a rap for our event: "StatusCheck on the left, who's on deck? StatusCheck to the right, hacking day and night!"

StatusCheck at 5 PM

Also note, for all those attending, at 5 PM we will move over to the hotel bar to have the first big StatusCheck drink meetup in LA. If you can't make StatusCampLA, surely you can come and relax at do a StatusCheck!

Raise Your Communities Status

This is the first StatusCampLA and is the third StatusCamp after our successful StatusCampMontreal and StatusCampSF. We want to do more StatusCamps globally and encourage anyone interested in hosting their own StatusCamp. If you are interested, please do message http://identi.ca/rejon or email jon@status.net. I will personally help you get going and will even send you out some shirts and stickers to get started. You might even get Brion, Evan or another StatusNet'r to your city special delivery for the event.

What's your StatusNet? The hashtag for this event will be #statuscampLA
