BarCampWaterloo wrap-up
Posted by Jesse Rodgers on October 02, 2006 at 09:12 AM
With around 30 people present, just over 20 staying until the end even though we ran out of donuts half way through, I think the first BarCampWaterloo was a success. We had 10 presentations covering modifying 2 old IBM keyboards so you could have one for each hand, ASP.NET AJAX, getting programmers to write good documentation, WebStaffRoom demo, Web 2.0 marketting on the cheap, UWhub.ca demo, persudo.com demo, and more.
Oddly I think the keyboard one was my favorite… it certainly started the evening off on the right foot. Big thank-you to CECS for the space and Applied Vision for the snacks. At the end of the evening it was decided there will be another BarCampWaterloo this term, likely a Tuesday night from 5-10pm, and near the end of November. Then I think the plan is to try for one a term. The wiki will be updated when the space is found.
Looking forward to the next one…
