OK, I’m convinced. Mesh is web 2.0, it’s in Toronto and I’m reading good stuff about the plans (like this and this).

So, as of just now, I’m registered to attend Mesh 2006, Toronto’s web 2.0 conference. Looking forward to it.

Speaking of conferences, I’m planning to get to at least part of the iSummit conference taking place in Toronto this week. This one’s also 2.0 flavoured, but with a media industry slant. There are some interesting (not-too-corporate interesting) looking panels here, for example Wednesday’s schedule has a conflict between We/Me Media: When YOU are the Content featuring Matt Mullenweg, the founder of WordPress (Matt was part of an excellent panel I enjoyed on DIY web projects at SXSW). However in the same time slot there’s a Machinima Showcase panel moderated by Jim Munroe, a local doing some cool stuff in indy media (in the most literal sense).
