DemoCampVictoria #3 update

So I have a scheduling conflict. I’ll be heading down to SF on May 26th for GoogleIO. It’s Google’s largest developer gathering so it should be pretty exciting! Unfortunately that means I can’t run DemoCamp Victoria #3. I need people to take the reigns! DemoCamp isn’t really *that* rigid or complicated, but to make it easy for people I’ll outline the basics:

Welcome everyone to DC3.
Explain what democamp is in very brief form, take some questions.
Explain the format, get the list up and get those names on the board
30-second intros, vote on the best 4-6, followed by the presentations of such. (again, not a hard rule, let the crowd decide
Let the presentations rip and ask questions, engage.. don’t just sit there and watch!
Enjoy the event, go out for a social afterwards

There should be a photographer going, but in addition we should have someone tweet the event (you #victoriatweetup ppl should come), and lets get more people blogging about it.

I’ll follow the hashtags while I’m in SF, good luck!

Well, what an amazing lineup of people we had and how well did that turn out! Jessica Pryde, Wendy Pryde and Dave Chard at Juliet did an OUTSTANDING job at making DemoCamp one of the – correction – *the* swankiest get together ever put on in our vibrant not-so-little town of Victoria. Dave’s buildings are something to watch for as the kind of development projects he’s doing definitely fit into DemoCamp’s philosophy of bringing a mix of people and businesses together to create vibrancy.

Here’s a pic from Tris’ photos, credit goes to Yule for doing it first on her blog

The presentations that came out where Songbird, BuyLater, SkyscraperPage.com, Flock, Professional Reading Environment, Person to Person Lending, a sensor platform for athletes, and DB programming. Lots of interest, interaction and buzz was generated from the whole event. I don’t think I could have imagined it kicking off any better than that. The crowd was interested and interactive – it’s like you’re all seasoned veterans now!

Tris Hussey, Boris Mann and Yule Heibel have already blogged about the event, so go check out their blogs too (Tris has some photos up as well).

Thanks again to Yule Heibel and Dave Chard – without you there would be no DemoCamp downtown! Thank you so much! I look forward to seeing you all at the next DemoCamp! woo
