In a few short weeks, I have taken in BarCamp Vancouver, Drupal Camp LA, Digital Identity World, Drupal Camp Victoria and Drupal Camp Seattle.

Launch Party Vancouver, MobileCampVancouver, National Digital Media Day (and others I'll leave out in the interests of brevity) and now BarCampVancouver2008. September continues to be action packed with events and conferences. BarCamp Vancouver kicks off with a party at WorkSpace (wines sponsored by Farmstead, thanks) this Friday September 26, 2008 and then starts at 9:30 a.m. at Granville Island on Saturday September 27, 2008. Get your creative, tech, hat on and throw your hat in and "dis-coordinate" a session. Newbies, old hands and everybody in between all welcome! Some great session ideas after the jump to whet your appetite but as per the unconference stylee the schedule won't be finalized until the schedule jam Saturday morning at 10 a.m.

Geekfests!

Summer's winding down which means less camping camping, and more indoor camping, on the agenda.

Next up to add to your geek fest calendar are two free-form, inter-disciplinary meetups in Vancouver:

MobileCampVancouver2 at WorkSpace on Saturday, Sept.6th.

BarCampVancouver2008 at locations Granville Island on Saturday/Sunday, Sept. 27th-28th.

Both are participatory events with presentations selected by vox populi at the beginning of the session. Check out the the Rules of Bar Camp to learn what to expect.

MobileCamp Vancouver 2

Alas, MCV2 runs concurrently with Drupal Camp Victoria but there are enough enthusiasts around to make both events a success. MCV2 is sponsored by Mobile Muse - an applied research and developmet project funded by the Canadian government to conduct projects in the emerging mobile space.

Blurb:

MobileCampVancouver is bringing together iPhone junkies, Crackberry addicts, couch surfers, coffee shop hackers, vagabonds and mobile nomads to share the current state and their visions for the future direction of mobility.
