Ottawa Web Weekend

The Weekend is next Friday.

Participants can update their profile on the extranet.

See you soon.

I got feedback from people attending university saying April 4-6 was not the best time for them to take part in the Weekend…and I remember how it was.

So, we’re postponing the weekend to the beginning for May (2-4 or 9-11) so it better fits with their schedule.

We’ll keep you posted.

Even tho it’s more than 2 months away, it’s time to start organizing the Weekend. There is lots to do to make it happen: find a venue, advertise/recruit participants, find sponsors and decide what will happen during those 3 days.

If you are interested in helping out to organize it, send me an e-mail (ottawaw [at] gmail [dot] com) and we will meet soon.

If you are interested in participating, enter your name and e-mail address in the box on the right and I’ll keep you posted.

I had the chance to attend Startup Weekend 1 Toronto (SW1 Toronto) last September and I liked the idea so much that I’m looking to organize something similar in Ottawa/Gatineau from April 4 to 6, 2008.

If you’d like to participate or help organize the weekend, drop me a line.

I’ve created Ottawa Weekends as an informal umbrella organization to organize different weekends in the future because I think the concept goes beyond technology or startups. I know that the folks in Toronto are already planning a Mobile one.
