What is it?
What is BarCampOttawa? 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. wino kredyt mieszkaniowy sprzedam mieszkanie sprzedam bilet

If you are interested in demoing please sign up in one of the three spots below. Due to the technology we are using we can only demo web applications without authentication requirements. Also don’t worry if you’ve demo’ed before. We want show Ottawa’s best.
