I just wanted to remind you of the first ever Ottawa BarCamp, to be held this Saturday. Bitheads has generously offered the use of their cool facilities on Carling avenue at the Westgate plaza, and an exciting agenda has been taking shape (see our wiki ) in the BarCamp tradition of a participatory conference. Some of the ‘best and the brightest’ involved in Ottawa’s Web2.0 scene will be attending, as well as some special guests from out of town.
We have a really nice reminder of the event for each of the participants, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors – but supplies are limited, and will be provided on a first come – first served basis. Remember, this is a unique opportunity to meet, and share in discussions with smart, passionate techies in the Ottawa area. If you have something you want to demonstrate or show, make sure to bring it along. We will have WiFi access and have reserved time and projectors to support software demos, and the like.
Pls check our wiki for the latest information on the event.
To properly "prepare" (ie. have a couple of beers, and meet some new friends) for the Saturday sessions, we have arranged to meet Friday evening for drinks and conversation at the Fox & Feather (main floor) on Elgin street, from 7:00pm onwards. We hope to see you there!
Barcamp begins at 8:30 Saturday morning.
