BarCamp Ottawa: Introduction
Today I'm at BarCamp Ottawa, my first conference let alone my first unconference. I like the relaxed informality and the venue is great (BitHeads on Carling). This post will be a collection of my notes and thoughts from the presentations I attend and the people I talk to. There are four "tracks" in four different rooms, so I can only attend 1/4th of the sessions. But that's OK, there's a good amount of choice for each time slot. Other bloggers will fill in the blanks from the other sessions. Notes on Notes I took these notes during the presentations. Hopefully they make sense to other people! If I made any factual errors, please correct me in the comments. The notes themselves came mostly from the audio of the presentation rather than the slides (since they will probably be available as well). I've made some personal comments within the notes, and they are marked with the word "ed." and in brackets.
