BarCamp Vancouver: Registration Open for Aug. 25-26
As I mentioned before, I’m part of a motley crew organizing BarCamp Vancouver. (Here’s a quick overview of BarCamp Vancouver that I posted last week, with a bonus video from some key conspiritors in San Francisco.)
Over the weekend, with a minimum of hand wringing and forethough, we threw open the doors to register for BarCamp Vancouver. So if you’re interested, get on it. We’re limiting the number of attendees to 90 and 15 people have signed up already.
To register, as the instructions on the page say, click the button to edit the wiki page and add your name at the bottom in the list with everyone else. Simple? Not so much. If you have any troubles or reservations, please get in touch with me and we’ll figure it out.
If you’re coming, watch for my presentation on building a do-it-yourself (DIY) advertising community called AdHack, and be sure to tap me on the shoulder and say, ‘hi!’
