Ottawa DemoCamp 7 is happening on Monday of next week, January 28.  On tap are:

  • 'Protecode Demo' – demonstration of a tool that unobtrusively detects, logs, and identifies external content during software development. This tool is used to automatically create records of Intellectual Property ownership and licensing attributes of external code (eg Open Source modules or snippets) that enter a project.
  • Distributed Musical Instruments. Software that will allow MIDI files to be replayed on different sound modules. This will be a demo of an entry level process leading to a system creating a Virtual Musical Sound Studio.

In June of 2007 the TIQ was launched on Facebook to promote TravelPod, since then it's been launched on Friendster, TravelPod, TripAdvisor and virally on 4000 other syndicated websites. The TIQ has now taken a life of its own generating millions of monthly unique visitors and driving significant traffic to TravelPod.com.
  • 'JohnnyVoIP' – Initial beta of a social communications platform tool that is currently available on Facebook allowing users to forget about downloading, installing, and finding their friends – just click on a link.

DemoCamp Montreal

by alec on February 8, 2007

The DemoCamp movement seems to be hitting an inflection point.  With upcoming camps in Dallas, Montreal and DC this month, and more next month, the notion of an informal evening get together to see short presentations on new technologies seems to be gaining a lot of currency.

The next closest event for us in Ottawa is DemoCamp1 Montreal on February 27th.  Several Ottawa DemoCampers will be headed that way, although I myself will be at ETel in San Francisco.

Put it on your calendar!

What: Demo Camp Montreal
When: Tuesday, February 27, 2007 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM
Where: Society for Arts and Technology (SAT)

1195 Boul. St. Laurent
Montreal, PQ

Yee ha!  I think I like it even better than the original BarCamp format. At DemoCamp 12 in Toronto last night, there were [...]

Rick and Shel’s Excellent Adventure

May 19, 2006

Rick Segal is doing a three week road trip this summer with Shel Israel.  They’re networking with entrepreneurs everywhere, and Rick’s side agenda is to promote Canada as a great place to set up shop, as opposed to Silicon Valley.  I agree, to a certain extent, but part of what makes Silicon Valley special is the [...]
