I had lunch with Peter Childs today at Sushi Ebi on River Road. We were sketching out how to run a BarCamp Ottawa event — the types of participants, numbers, location and so on. It looks like it will be a late April event, simply because I am slammed until sometime in March. If you’re interested in participating, or helping to organize, head over to the BarCampOttawa wiki and add your name to the list.
Many thanks to David Crow for his encouragement, guidance, and offer to help organize. David, you’re a prince among men

A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
