Tweetup - A Change of Focus
April 4th, 2008
Alright, the original reason we created this site was to host a little tweetup for the Huntsville based twitter’ers. Now, we seem to have a change of focus for this project. We’re trying to put together a collaborative place that people can post to from a smartphone. The purpose would be to encourage the mobile freedom that twitter helps provide. We believe you can do amazing things with cellphones given the right tools. And so we are calling for your help!
Project Intentions:
- Not for profit
- Keep as collaborative as possible
- Involve as many people as possible
- Creative Commons
- Open Source
Accomplish the following goals:
- Not Limited to Huntsville
- Allow Any Organization to Call A Tweetup
- Promote Mobile Collaboration
- Simple, Easy to use interface
- Allow the spontaneous to happen
We are looking for:
- Coders
- Designers
- Thought-Leaders
- Promotters
- Mascotts!
I would love to hear from anyone who wants to be involved in this project and any ideas you may have. Also feel free to comment below to share any ideas you may have.

Great idea! I’m a php/mysql/css/server/etc geek. Count me in. Drop me an email or DM me on twitter.
This is a great idea. I’d love to help however i can (probably coding, maybe Mascott!) Just let me know how I can help.
I’m down!!! I wanna help develop it!!!
I probably wouldn’t be the best coder (although I would kinda like to possibly try my hand at it a little, as a learning experience) but I’d love to work on the structure and content part — what actually fills the pages. So I guess the last three would fit the bill.
Whatever you do, I’d like to meet local HSV Twitter users. So, I hope that keeps happening.

Does anyone think a google group would help collaboration for this project?
Can’t code a lick, but I’m a heck of a promoter and I love to organize and attend tweet-ups. Got one scheduled in Austin on Monday night w/ @gapingvoid and as many tweeps as we can get together. Let me know how I can help.
