Did you ever wonder about what I saw in Freebase that made me join Metaweb but you still can’t see?

Or you think Freebase is cool and all, but you have no idea how you could make use of it or why you should care in practice?

Or simply you’re curious about what I’ve been working on for the last 9 months that involves something so tricky that a standard java virtual machine wasn’t enough and we had to patch it and run our own modified version in production? (yeah, I know how crazy that sounds.. believe me, I know)

So, if you’re reading this and find yourself close to downtown San Francisco Saturday July 11 2009, consider showing up at the free Freebase HackDay event that we are organizing to show and promote all the developers’-related activities we’ve been working on to make Freebase a useful and interesting platform to integrate with your web applications.

This day is also very important for me because we’ll be releasing Acre 1.0, our server-side javascript-powered hosted web application platform, that my team and I been working on since I joined Metaweb.

The event is free and Metaweb will be offering food, drinks and plenty of whiteboards and wireless connectivity, but if you plan on coming, please RSVP.

See you there!
