Over the past year, it has been quite an experience to see the entrepreneurial community in Atlanta band together and do great things like ASW2, Startup Riot, Startup Gauntlet and ATL Show and Tell just to name a few.

ATL is no Bay Area but it isn't "hosed" either, pg's opinions not withstanding :) [See Atlanta can compete: http://blog.weatherby.net/2007/10/atlanta-can-com.html]

In addition to the 100+ people who participated in ASW2, a lot of credit goes to the guys who helped organize it, sponsored it and worked to make sure it got attention in the media. Lance Weatherby (news.yc user lanceweatherby) and Georgia Tech / ATDC where it was hosted deserve a special mention.

What about investors? Getting tech people to meetup and collaborate seems much easier than convincing people that are unaccustomed to purchase certain asset categories to do so.
