Discovering Austins networks
Posted by adityavempaty on June 18, 2008
Sometimes it just takes one or two things to click to make everything fall into place. Thats what I think has happened to me in regard to finding out more about Austins start up community. Within the last 4 days I have discovered more then I ever knew about what kind of people are in Austin, and how much zeal and enthusiasm they have for start up culture. Many of you that know me know how much I love to that type of culture and networking with people.
Thus I was aching to find that type of Culture to which I was used to in the Bay Area, and it took me about a year but I think i have found it. My first taste of this was on Saturday at Product Camp Austin(Paul Young Pictured above), I started to meet some of them there but it translated towards Geek Austin @ Semantic Web Launch Party today:
Pictured are : Juan Sequeda and John Del Olivera (Co-Hosts)
The topic was Semantic Web ( I am still trying to learn more about this). I am starting to get a rough idea of what it is after today. Either way the main point of this post is to show how in a year of living in Austin and not finding much web 2.0 things. In 4 days I discovered an entire community which is trying to start up things as http://startupdistrict.com/ or get the area more interested in http://austin30.org/. I was extremely amazed and enjoyed the company I meet today. Really hoping to make good relationships with the crowd I meet and maybe even toss some ideas around with them. Thoughts Comments ?
