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 and Format

We will have 5 demos, demos should follow roughly 2 minute introduction, 8 minute demonstration, 5 minutes for questions.

All presenters should read Tips for presenting at DemoCamp. We are going to reduce the number of slots from 6 to 5. There are 5 available presentations that are available on a first come, first serve basis. I have a couple of potential demos and I am reserving the final 2 presentation spots. I'll post details once I'm able to confirm the specifics. Got a problem with this, contact me.
