So I got my Build Boston schedule today, and was pleasantly surprised to see that Cameron is going to be heading up a seminar. So I figured this might be a good chance for anyone thats going to be going to meet up.
I know I'm going to be going, and if you're interested post it here and we can get something rolling.

C26 Design like you give a damn
1:00-2:30 pm
Sponsored by Public Architecture and co-sponsored by ArchVoices and the BSA
In this, the second workshop in our In the Public Interest Symposium, we learn how Architecture for Humanity (AFH) mobilized its global network of volunteers wthin hours of the deadly Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunamis. Under the auspices of AFH, a new generation of socially-conscious designers is demonstrating the potential of applying architectural solutions to global, social, and humanitarian crises. AFH has made significant inroads into developing countries by consulting with government bodies and relief organizations on a number of projects, including mobile AIDS/HIV treatment centers in Africa, mine-clearance programs in the Balkans, and earthquake recovery assistance in Grenada, Iran, Turkey, and Sri Lanka. In the process, the organization has demonstrated the potential of collaboration and design in situations and places with few financial or material resources, little political power, and fleeting hope.
