Startup Weekend

I have been discussing the possibility of hosting a Startup Weekend in Kalmar with a few people. It seems to interest them. It’s very tempting to follow through and so I will continue to evaluate the possibilities, talk to people and see what happens. Let me know if you want to participate and/or help out with the event.
