DemoCamp 16th Details:

When: January 26th, 6:30pm
Where: The District – 607 – 11th Ave SW
What: We’ve already got some demos lined up, including everyone’s fave guys from assn.ca, Andrew from SiteCite, DJ Kelly on Open Data Calgary and Chris Thompson is demo’ing his new phone service.

What does all of this mean for you? Well, there’s still room for you to demo. Also, there’s a rumor that if you get to District earlier, you’ll be able to take advantage of Happy Hour (for those of you not paying attention, that’s a win-win – no over-priced beer from *that other place* AND even cheaper drinks due to happy hour). This is good news people, this is good news.  Put on your sociable pants and come on down.

The DemoCamp Crew

We’re hoping to host another DemoCamp on January 26th at 6:30pm.

If you would like to Demo, please let us know right away.

This promises to be another great event. We’ll plan on having it at Seven RestoLounge again, unless someone has a suggestion for somewhere with cheaper booze, good food and the capacity to handle us all :) We are not resistant to change here at DemoCamp.

More information to follow in the new year. Looking forward to meeting up with everyone.
Sincerely,
The DemoCamp Crew

Head on over to Seven RestoLounge and listen to the following people talk about what they’re up to:

Chad Jones from iUSask – He’s driving all the way from Saskie to show off what he’s built

Brian Reimer from Evoco

Arpad Barabas from Mobizou

Adam Goetz from Karo

Gordon McDowell from Yoctoplay

Quinton Rafuse  from coworkYYC

Graham Neumann from Eden Garden Designer

We’ve got iPhone apps, we’ve got big companies, we’ve got dude-in-basements and we’ve got dude-talking-about-how-you-no-longer-have-to-be-dude-in-basement! A full line up (some are only 5 minute demos, so don’t panic).

It should be a great time and we’re really looking forward to chatting/drinkin’ a beer with everyone.

See you on Tuesday,

The DemoCamp Crew

We’ll be meeting up at Seven RestoLounge, on 8th Ave and 5th St SW (the usual) and we’re really looking forward to seeing you guys.

Next week, we’ll post the finalized list of Demos so you can see what you’re in for :)

If there are any last minute requests to demo (or sponsors wanting to throw cash our way…you can totally buy our love), we will try to squeeze you in!

See you in two weeks,

The DemoCamp Crew

Our next DemoCamp will be October 27th, at 6:30pm.

We’ve already got a couple of great Demos lined up and are looking for more. Drop us an email if you are interested in showing off what you’re building, what you’ve built, or what you’re trying to build :)

Since we haven’t had a DemoCamp since the Spring, we’re very much looking forward to catching up with everyone and seeing what’s new on the scene in Calgary.

More details on presenters and location (probably Seven) to follow closer to the date.

Hope you are all having a great summer,

The DemoCamp Crew

By clicking on a timecode, you can immediately start watching any event I’ve listed in this summary…

• 00:31 Mark Rosenberger shows off Tagle (called Side Finder back in 2007). This “information connector” tracks your tagged or taggable data, and also automatically propagates desired tags to sites such as Flickr.
• 09:45 Bruno Stepphun demonstrates TheFabler.com which he describes as “YouTube meets Threadless for comics”.
• 14:29 Shawn Abbott speaks on behalf of iNovia Capital a seed and early stage venture fund sponsoring DemoCampCalgary.
• 16:26 Shawn then demonstrates Tynt, a user engagement monitoring tool which is currently in beta.
• 24:43 Michael Sikorsky announces iPhone Dev School, a 2 day course at University of Calgary at the end of May. MJ (Sikorsky) also runs a Startup School at the end of September.
• 27:00 Tys von Gaza and Sean Healy conduct a survey in which iPhone equipped DemoCampers use Surveyor, their iTouch/iPhone feedback tool.
• 32:54 Reg Cheramy and Sean Healy then illustrate what happens when you combine computer geeks, a 3 hour drive, 3G data connectivity and a WiFi/3G tethering iPhone: software development on the go! The result, TwitClipper, was built without a single auto accident.
• 34:58 Some of Reg’s software took more than 3 hours to create. For example, EdiStorm is a “one year in development” application which helps people brainstorm online. Built to be more accessible to the general public than a mind map, it employs “info-bots” to automatically conduct research on whatever items you are brainstorming. For example, if you are brainstorming a name for your baby, EdiStorm will show you search engine matches, and perform a whois on similar domains. This also is useful for brainstorming product names.
• 41:08 Tys von Gaza invites Calgarians down to BarCampEdmonton on May 13th.
• 41:43 Duncan Kinney asks all Calgary bloggers to submit their blog URLs to him for a Calgary blogs project he is working on.
• 42:00 David Gluzman updates us about Wine Camp. The date has been pushed out until late May / early June. This concludes the Wine Camp update.
• 42:26 And finally Andrew Hanna’s GuestReel was employed by DemoCampers to share their thoughts about DemoCampCalgary.

David Gluzman let me use his photos of DemoCampCalgary14 in the video, which is released under a Creative Commons Share-Alike license.

Hey… next time… lets use screen capture software, m’kay? Pointing a video camera at a projection screen is great. It has the same rustic charm as rubbing two sticks together to light a campfire. Which is fun once. Then you reach for the lighter fluid and matches.
