BarCampEdmonton was a great success this weekend. There were over 100 people in attendance and it was great to meet new people and learn about new projects and interests.
A picture of the schedule is here:
I went to
- Financing an Idea
- What Problem Does The Semantic Web Solve?
- Angel Fund, U of A, Robert
- Evolution of Nexopia
- Why Twitter Will Rule The World
- Emerging Mobile Platforms
I also led a session on Edmonton Wireless & WiFi Mesh Networks with Mack Male.
One of the most interesting conversations I had was with a fellow named Clark Murray. Clark and three other guys have created a great product called dub5 which stands for the 5 W’s in everyone’s life, the Who What Where When and Why. Essentially dub5 is a new take on scheduling and calendar management. Their major advantage over competitors like Outlook and Google Calendar is their text message integration. Personally I love this and I hope to be using it as soon as it’s ready.
Since all the video I took of my sessions ended up being like 300mb a piece and 20 minutes long I haven’t finished uploading them to Google Video yet. However, check out the quick demo I had the dub5 guys give me.
