Startup Weekend is scheduled to hit Columbus on July 18-20. Designers, developers and all other startup-minded folk can register at the event website. There's a great tech community here in town, so registration will likely fill up fast.
Sign up over here.
The 2008 Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Conference is now accepting submissions for participation, including research papers, panels, and workshops. They're also looking for volunteer bloggers (text and video), Twitterers, and note-takers for the conference, which will happen in Colorado in October. I'm thinking I might be able to attend this year, so I'm (virtually) jumping into preparations full-force.
