Coincidently, I was reading an article about "Startup Weekend" when I received the email from Mike about demo city.

I would think Orlando would be a great venue for hosting a "Startup Weekend".  Seems like a great matchup for Orlando Jug/Codetown to host something like Startup Weekend, bringing together the "ideas" people with the developers needed to make it happen. 

 

 

Would anyone else be interested in participating ?

Hey, Tom - thanks for the heads up! I bet a good way to judge interest level in an event like this would be to do some P/R at the upcoming Barcamp. We're interested in high tech startups, mainly and there will be a great turnout at Barcamp to get feedback. /Mike PS - thinking about it! I think it's a great idea.

I would definitely participate, most likely as a developer.

As a side note, we don't need VCs or Media Partners to organize a hackathon. A project and a room full of eager programmers are more than sufficient.
I would be interested in Startup CIty in Orlando.  We have plenty of dev resources and few startups or startup mentallity.  How do we help?

Netflix Uses Elasticsearch Percolate Queries to Implement Reverse Searches Efficiently

Netflix engineers recently published how they use Elasticsearch Percolate Queries to "reverse search" entities in a connected graph.
