Bloomington Startup Feb. 8-10, 2008 [a startup weekend event]

Bloomington isn’t going to be like any other Startup Weekend, and at the same time we’ll be like them all. We are going to benefit from the transparency provided by the previous cities. Our ability to cope with whatever faulty group dynamics may arise is improved significantly by past reporting on how things went.

We thank the hundreds of past founders for sharing. Soon, it will be our turn to do the same.

I am challenging local bloggers to help our event out by posting something about our event this week, encouraging people to register or follow our activities at City Hall on February 8-10. We want to make sure Bloomington knows about this, even as we wait for the Herald-Times and IDS coverage.

Some local bloggers have already published entries about Bloomington Startup Weekend. We will keep a running list in our resources page, but here are the mentions we have already received:

Thanks to all of these local bloggers.
