BarCamp Edmonton

We just want to say a quick thank-you to everyone that showed up last night for Edmonton’s very first DemoCamp.  Almost 70 people attended, well beyond our initial estimates of 50 or less.  As well, many people came out afterwards for drinks at The Windsor. One of the main goals of DemoCamp is to build connections in the Edmonton community, and we’re sure many new connections were made last night.

We’d also like to thank all the speakers that came out.  You all did a great job, and we look forward to seeing you again!  Here they are again in the order they presented:

There’s already a great recap of the nights events, as well as content on Flickr and Twitter.

Over the next few weeks we’re going to be collecting feedback and going over this DemoCamp to see what we can do better next time.  If you want to keep up on what’s going on we encourage you to join our mailing list, follow our RSS feed, or join the BarCampEdmonton Facebook group.

Just a reminder that DemoCampEdmonton1 is happening tonight.  It starts at 6:30 at the University of Alberta, School of Business room B-9 (#36 on the map).   The cheapest parking is in lot N on the east side of Hub Mall (map).  Get there early to be sure you get a seat!

The response for DemoCamp Edmonton1 has been fantastic, clearly this was long overdue. In order to help us gauge how many people there are going to be please sign up on the wiki (preferable), leave a comment on this blog, or send me an email (cam.linke@gmail.com). If you have trouble with the wiki you can send me an email and I will enter you on there if you like. The password/invite key is c4mp.
This will help us in planning for the event.  We are working on figuring out what the best system will be for this in the future.

Okay so we have officially set a date for the first Democamp. It is going to start at 6:30 on Wednesday March 26, 2008. If you are going to attend or would like to demo please head over to the wiki and put your name down. If you have any questions, or would like to talk about things further feel free to fire me off an email at cam.linke@gmail.com.
