What
An all day colaborative hackfest, mashing up various already-built technologies to solve problems expressed in human terms, rather than technological terms.
See the video from MomentShowing.net
Agenda: define problems, assign teams, build, report --apps and code
Possible human problems to focus on:
- Making event organizing easier!
- Making remote participation in Mashpits and Barcamps easier and more accessible
- Making knowing what's going on as easy as finding driving directions (cough Mapendar cough)
- ...add your own!

Participants
This is a multi-disciplinary event... meaning that we want designers, developers, marketers, thinkers and reality-checkers... no more bubbles -- we want cross-polination! If you want in, like technology, to build things or asking good questions, you should come to Mash Pit.
(Limited to 15-45 people -- don't worry, we'll be having more 'pits (or, start your own!))
