This past weekend was the NorthWestMozDev meetup.  What is that you say?  Well, the group provides a simple mechanism for developers in the North West
(US/Canada) using Mozilla related technologies to communicate with each
other (Yes I quote that straight from the Google group).

It was the second installment of such meetings, the first was in downtown Vancouver at ActiveState.  There were a number of interesting talks – one I was most interested in was the Mozilla Labs/2010 Goal discussion put on by Mark Surman and David Ascher.  (You should check it out)

One of the surprising discussions (for me) from this meetup was somewhat political/activist/social change related.  How can Mozilla use it’s brand and following to encourage more openess on the web, support other non-profits or organizations trying to better “the greater good”.

Interesting stuff all around, I’m glad some Flock folk could make it out.
