What is it?

What is BarCampOttawa? Think of it as a way to get the tech/geek community together in Ottawa. Only one thing is certain: It's up to you to decide. The most important thing you should take away from the event? Relationships with other geeks in Ottawa!

 

(As stolen from BarCampNYC, as copied from...) BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference 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. All attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one.

 

Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.

 

When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers. When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.

When & Where

Saturday, April 22, 2006 9am to 5pm.

BitHeads 1309 Carling Ave ( http://www.bitheads.com/index.php )

 

Cost

Free as in beer. But there's a catch. Attendees are expected to contribute back to the conference by participating actively. "Active participation" might mean giving a presentation, helping with a presentation, blogging or podcasting the event, or whatever other creative ways

 

Scheduled & Proposed Sessions

Barcamp is about participation and discussion. What do you want to talk and learn about?We'll have projectors, screens & white boards. Bring a laptop, memory stick or what ever you need to illistrate your points - PowerPoint, demos', code snippets or what ever - to engage participants.

 

Sessions are 40 minites, but with an active audience, probing insights and both you and the audience involved in Q&A a 15 or so minute presentation is all that needed to start the discussion.

 

There will be up to 3 simultaneous sessions or 21 presentations.

  • I've been mulling over a potential discussion on either challenges associated with blog technology in an enterprise, and/or why published content (whether from a blog, CMS, or wiki) needs to project different views depending on the context (e.g. based on language, inside/outside firewall, identity, etc.) I'm not sure I have enough for a full talk.Feedback is welcome. (GavinMcKenzie, gmckenzi@gavinmckenzie.com)
