Getting started at GSJ12
It's over, folks, it's over.
We thought we could never reach the intensity or success of GSJ11, but you proved us utterly wrong.
The weekend started on with a desert sunrise on Thursday, and ended with a Pacific sunset on Sunday. In those ninety hours or so, 2061 Jammers registered from 85 cities in almost 40 countries worldwide - many of them hosting Jams for the first time. We were especially thrilled to welcome Jams in India, Iran and parts of the Middle East. Together, we created nearly 350 - yes, 350 - brand new service designs and published them for the world!
But the real success of the Jam is in the fantastic emotion of the event. In more than 3500 (and climbing) Tweets, people have talked about the camaraderie, learning, productivity and FUN of the Jam. They have talked about the joy of being playful while working. Thousands of pictures and dozens of films online show those emotions clearly. And we could feel them.
So THANK YOU!
Now browse through the projects and give praise where praise is due: to the dedicated jammers out there!
