While mostly pointless to post here since I just started and can assume that know one is reading it, BarCamp Vancouver is starting this afternoon. Here are some rough details stolen from Kris Krug:
Schedule
The schedule, such as it is, looks like this:
A note on scheduling: We've done the math, and we're pretty sure that all 120 of us won't be able to present in 8 hours. So, if you're not so keen on presenting, don't feel obligated to do so. Try to pitch in in other ways: contribute to discussions, help clean up, ask an organizer if there's an errand that needs running, and so forth. If you're sort of keen on presenting, check the list to see if there's somebody you can co-present with.
If you're really keen on presenting, be sure to be there at 9:00am to battle for a spot on the schedule.
Locations
The main venue for BarCamp has been generously donated by WorkSpace. That's suite 400 - 21 Water Street in the heart of Vancouver's Gastown. Here's a map.
The Friday night BBQ will be at Bryght's offices, which are literally a half-block away at suite 400 - 1 Alexander St. You actually enter around the side of the building off Carall St. Here's a map.
Special thanks to all the sponsors. They've been extremely generous with their time and donations and have helped lay the foundation for a very successful event. Three cheers for...
