BarCamp is an international network of unconferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies and social protocols.

BarCampSaskatoon2007 is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. BarCampSaskatoon2007 is open to all who love technology as a place to talk and to learn.

BarCampSaskatoon2007 will take place on September 29th, 2007 at The Cellar in the basement of the Senator Hotel (243 21st Street East).

From all reports, last year’s BarCamp in Saskatoon was a huge smash. Sadly I was out of town and was unable to attend. I will be attending this year and look foward to participating in this years BarCamp. It is being organized by many of the same people who organized the recent Saskatchewan Interactive Summit 2007, an event that absolutely blew my mind - in a positive way that is If you are going to be attending, make sure to drop me a line, I would love to talk to you about your projects!

I just bought my pass for the Ottawa Television Animation Conference in, you guessed it, Ottawa from the 19th to 20th of September.

I personally think that this event is probably one of the best events you can go to if you are interested in pitching shows to the major Canadian and US commissioning animation broadcasters. Last year Teletoon, CBC Kids, YTV, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, and others were all in attendance and relatively accessible for meetings.

In addition to being significantly cheaper than Banff, Kids Screen, or markets like MIP, it is intimate setting with a very small group of animation focused broadcasters, producers and creators. There are many great panel discussions that allow you to see what trends are developing in the animation industry at a very high level. If, like myself, you are from somewhere out in woods like Saskatchewan, this information is absolutely invaluable.

I personally am on the lookout for new projects that I can get behind and help develop, so if you are going to be at the event, make sure to drop me a line.
