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.

On a sunny Vancouver patio with beers and mussels, Dave enjoys a long conversation with Boris Mann, technology consultant, Drupal board member, noted foodie, vino-camper, and Raincity Studio's product guru (emeritus).

Mr. Mann discuss the history of Bryght, the personal motivations for the acquisition by Raincity Studios, the importance of robust hosting, the growth of Bootup Labs (a startup incubator taking companies from zero to fundable), the nuances of the Vancouver tech scene, knowledge gaps, mobile ideas and much more.
