This is the first year I won’t attend both Velocity Conf and Structure.
I would have gone to Structure if it didn’t overlap with Velocity, but given the choice, I’ll go with the people that build things.
Both conferences have an overlapping theme of the infrastructure renaissance.
So in the spirit of friendly competition, @ShanleyKane and I are going to see who can get the most people to sign the ‘Meatcloud Manifesto’, take a picture with it, and post it to flickr (or the photo sharing site of their choosing), and tweet a link with the tags of the conference you are at (#structure10 or #velocityconf) and #meatcloud just for good measure.
It’s should look something like this:
Or this:

So if you are a builder of things, and you love some APIs, show your support for Velocity Conf and sign the manifesto.
You are either with us or against us.
Meatcloud manifest destiny, for real this time…
