I am just reading some notes in French to get ready for my interview on CBC French Radio (Monday, August 13th 2007 @ 7:20am) about Barcamp and Ad Hoc events.

I felt a bit uneasy, although I did grow up in Montreal, I am unfamiliar with the tech lingo in my native tongue.

Anyway, here's a series of links that I used to get up to date and I will mentioning tomorrow morning:

I sure appreciate all the work that is being done translating and supporting multiple languages on the web.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to be on Kootenay Co-op Radio with Jill Boland, Executive Director of TechVillage and Jason Taylor of Selkirk college. Tech Village is a non-profit based in the Koots whose mission is to support and grow the new media and technology industry in the region. From their website...

"Our mission is to flourish as an enterprising non-profit that strives to be nimble and responsive to the needs of digital media, software and IT members in the Kootenay Region of British Columbia, Canada.

Tech Village provides suppport services to local businesses such as professional development, consulting, networking, and project opportunities to members.

Our organization shares the core values of integrity and transparency, collaboration, long term community building, commitment to quality, frugality and simplicity, an entrepreneurial attitude, sharing recognition, opportunities, and knowledge, and maintaining balanced lifestyle."

I talked about the basics of Web 2.0 and blogging and what's going on on the internet. You can download the half-hour show here... enjoy the Andrea Bocelli intro and outro. :P
