Yours truly will be attending the Science Foo Camp at the Googleplex in Mountain View, CA this weekend. Sci Foo is a free, invitation-only meeting organized by Tim O'Reilly of O'Reilly Media and Timo Hanney of Nature.com. Lodging, meeting facilities, and of course the food are being provided by Google. Luckily, we'll be staying in a hotel, not tents like the icon suggests, which is great for me because, despite being an earth scientist, I hate, hate, hate camping. I'm not sure how much conference blogging will happen during the conference. For one, I'll be too busy talking and listening. Second, it seems they have some rules limiting blogging of the conference speakers, like no direct quoting of the participants, blah, blah, blah. Some notable attendees expected to be there are Anne Wojcicki, Sergey Brin's new wife, Bora Zivkovic from A Blog Around the Clock and PLoS-ONE, David Pescovitz from BoingBoing, and Vint Cerf, considered one of the "founding fathers of the internet." If you're going to be at Sci Foo, give me a holler. - Jackie
