There was a good piece on BarCamp in Canada over at itBusiness.ca that Grant Buckly wrote a couple weeks ago. I especially like the title;-)
BarCamps aim to erase the line between presenters and audience. Some require that every attendee come prepared to give a presentation. Some events are less strict about this rule than others, but the ethic of all un-conference events is participation. “It’s not really just about attending, it’s about participating,” says Andre Charland, president of Nitobi.com in Vancouver and an organizer of BarCamp Vancouver, which is scheduled to take place in conjunction with BarCamp Earth in late August.
I was quoted in it a couple times. Neat to see canada having a strong emerging tech scene with all this Web 2.0 madness going on down south. Get ready for BarCampVancouver next week! 120 signed up, it should be a great time!
