Going to BarCamp Montreal
I should have mentioned this earlier, but I’ll be attending BarCamp Montreal on Saturday, October 21st. I’ve actually volunteered to help out, which should be interesting and fun.
What is BarCamp?
Taken from the site: BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.
BarCamps are being held all over the globe…
The Montreal event should be a blast — there’s a bunch of great people going and I hope to meet up with all of them.
Oh, and they’re still looking for sponsors, if anyone’s interested in helping out with a few bucks…
i’m going too, but i’m still not sure what the hell the “discussions, demos, and interactions” are going to be about.
Julien - I’m not too sure either. Maybe I can rant and rave about podcasting or networking or online dating (I don’t do it, but I’ll rant about anyway if you like.)
Looking forward to seeing you there…
Is the website just intentionally vague? What is this thing? I’ll be looking for a reivew…
Jeff - I’ve never participated in a BarCamp so I can’t tell you exactly what it is - except to say that it’s a gathering of people (in this case app. 60 I believe) who will all participate in presentations and discussions about new media, technology, etc.
I think the best link to look at is this one:
http://www.barcampmontreal.org/wiki/index.php?title=SuggPresentation
It shows all the presentations taking place from technology demos to advice on getting financing for your startup.
I’ll definitely do a review, maybe some pictures (maybe a video!)
