Defrag
is the first conference focused solely
on the tools and technologies that are
leveraging the "social" aspect
of software to accelerate the "aha"
moment. Defrag is not a version number.
Rather it’s a gathering place
for the growing community of implementers,
users, builders and thinkers that are
working on the next wave of software
innovation.
|
Defrag
is being organized by Phil Becker, Brad
Feld and Eric Norlin: |
