What is it?

What is BarCampOttawa2? Think of it as a way to get the tech/geek community together in Ottawa, Ontario. Only one thing is certain: It's up to you to decide. The most important thing you should take away from the event? Relationships with other geeks in Ottawa!

 

Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join. When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers. When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.

 

Questions? Check out the google groups mailing list at: http://groups.google.com/group/barcamp/ or just post them in the "Questions" section at the bottom of this page.

Questions

 

  • Will there be a WiFi connection available? - Yes. Free WiFi. Bring your laptops.

 

  • How long should the sessions/presentations be? Plan for 40 mins each (total). For those leading a session, plan on presenting for 15 minutes and then leading a discussion for the balance!

 

  • What is the capacity (# people) for each of the four rooms? Some topics can be expected to have smaller attendance (though no guarantee of course)

 

  • Is there a summary for those of us who missed it this time?

 

  • Will there be a post-event dinner or something? Not currently planned, but I wouldn't mind a pint afterwards.
  • I'm really hoping I can get a two flip charts in the meeting room and some markers. Thanks Mark Levison (email mlevison at gmail - if you would.)

Hey! Interested in robotics, electronic art, or new media? Like reading Make magazine? Ever wanted to make a 3D printer that makes copies of itself?

 

We're trying to start up a local chapter of Dorkbot here in Ottawa! Dorkbot is a group of "people doing strange things with electricity". Recent dorkbot artworks (in other cities) include my doki-doki, a transmitter and reciever that let you feel another person's heartbeat, along with a A Report on Pigeon Aerial Photography and Hektor the spray painting robot.

 

If you are interested, Dorkbot-toronto is happening this weekend, and the Dorkbot Montreal meeting should be on December 14th. Here in Ottawa we're starting a group, and we have a mailing list.

Co-working, anyone?

 

Are you a programmer or writer who telecommutes or otherwise works from home, and you find that you miss the social lubrication that goes on around the water cooler?

 

Yet, do you also feel you can’t afford getting your own office away from home?

 

There might a way around this: a new concept called co-working.

 

There's a bit of background, as well as a seemingly ongoing discussion that's now occuring at Invisible Ink. (The link will take you directly to the subject.)

 

Feel free to stop by and add to the conversation.
