Mini-FAQ

• What's the point?
  • Building on the success of the initial TorCamp and the first Demo Camp, we want to continue to develop an active startup community in Toronto. Do you have a tool, a piece of software, a set of scripts, new toy, hardware hacks that you want feedback on? Bring it. Show it. Share!
• Who can come?
  • Everyone is welcome! Just Edit this Page and add your name under Attendees, below, so that we have a rough idea of numbers.
• What are the rules?
  • Rule #1 of DemoCamp: Talk about DemoCamp ;)
  • Rule #2 of DemoCamp: No powerpoints allowed. Why no .ppt ? Well, do you have working software or don't you?
• Do I have to have a demo?
• Nope! You are welcome to come along and give feedback to the people who do (or just watch and absorb if you don't feel like talking).
• Have another question?
  • Join the mailing list ask your question, and someone will answer it for you. (Don't hesitate to ping the instigator)

Demo Schedule:

Okay, there are currently 6 demos scheduled. If we manage the time well and everyone uses their fully alloted 15 minutes, this should take us to the Liberty Cafe for drinks without any breaks!

• DrProject (a classroom-friendly branch of Trac. We've done a full-on code rush in January, and hope to have a 1.0 to show at DemoCamp.
• openbluenetworks.com demo jewellerysearch platform and talk about outsourcing
• Geoff Whittington thelocalguru.com will demo thelocalguru.com and talk about why (and hopefully how) it was written
• Nuvvo AJAX, RSS/Atom, iCal... Nuvvo is Web 2.0's answer to eLearning.
• Blogware: Tucows' brandable, resellable, very configurable blogging platform, written in Ruby.
• BlogChat: Simple service provides Ajax-based chat window to add to your blog.

Next in line (if there's time)

• Please sign up, we had 2 cancellations the last time (Jevon + Lelia I'm looking at you). And we're going to do this again.

TorCamper Homework
