[Editors] SXSW in Cambridge?

[Kelly Courtney]

Lois et al
 Hubweek (and Solve) were announced  in early december.
My understanding is that Hub Week will be festival like and SOLVE will be
academic - Davos on the Charles type of event.   MIT Tech Review is taking
the lead for MIT.  Planning is still in the early stages.
Following is the web site for Hubweek and a few press clippings.  Best,
Kelly
