Gordon,

We’d love that. There isn’t much to setting up a Lunch 2.0 LAN

I just read the piece in the WSJ and immediately came here to see if there was a Boston Lunch 2.0 group. The positive press makes now the best time to consider expanding this to include other parts of the country!

We’ve got Lunch 2.0 Hollywood setup on Facebook. Meetings should be going around September.

Feel like driving the 5?

I’m interested in starting a Lunch 2.0 LAN in the Washington DC Tech Corridor (Herndon, Reston, Tyson’s Corner). Where do I go from here?

Thanks,

Chris

Brenton, are you in Los Angeles? Did you go to BarCamp a few weeks ago? That’s the closest thing LA has to Lunch 2.0 (as far as I know). http://barcampla.org/ has monthly dinners, so it’s more like Dinner 2.0.

Giving 2.0

I had an epiphany this morning while I was doing my daily yoga and meditation. I violated all my rules because when I do my yoga and meditation, I�m supposed to be emptying my mind of everything, but my mind was flooded with the idea of �giving back�. We are all fortunate, those of us who have jobs in the Silicon Valley or S.F. (well, most of us); we don�t really live, eat, shop, or even walk in or near areas where there is true homelessness.

So, my idea was to have Giving 2.0 instead of Lunch 2.0 this Thanksgiving Season.

Any thoughts?

Hmm, I’ll have to think about it. One way would be to use categories. Then, people who only wanted their market could get the Seattle RSS feed. That way there’s also a common space for everybody to bounce off of.

Another way to go could be Wordpress mu. Quite honestly, I haven’t looked at it in about a year, but it wasn’t all that great last time I saw it.

I think I also like the categories idea because it encourages word-of-mouth. A Yahoo! engineer in Sunnyvale could let his pals in Santa Monica know about the Hollywood event. If it gets segmented into subdomains, ala mu, that is less likely to happen. We could also make subdomains redirect to categories. So hollywood.lunch20.com redirects to lunch20.com/index.php/hollywood. That get the best of both, methinks. Lunch20.com stays community and people who want to live in their regions can still use subdomains.

There you have it – the first 5 minutes of my reaction. =P
