Ottawa Web Weekend

In less than 2 hours, the Ottawa Web Weekend will be over. Many of us start to feel the impact of working so intensively over the last 48 hours. Tired we are but I think everybody is very proud of what we have accomplished.

The dev team is working hard so they can show the rest of the group a demo of the product. We will do that during our wrap up meeting at 8.30PM, the last item on the agenda. We will then reveal to the world what we have been up to for the last 3 days.

The business team is putting the final touch to the financial forecast.

The legal team, Kim, is working quietly refining the user agreement for the product.

The design/integration team is going through Photoshop and CSS files at a frantick pace to implement our branding.

The marketing team is putting on paper the extraordinary experience we were part of.

It’s mothers’ day so some had to leave but some said they might come back for our final meeting.

The end is coming…

There are only 11 minutes left before day 2 of the Ottawa Web Weekend is over.

We had a fantastic day. Quite frankly, it went so well, beyond what I had in mind organizing the Weekend.

About 25 people work on the product today, and they are amazing. We have a good product idea and research showed us that we are on the right track.

We will share it with you tomorrow once it is over.

Couldn’t be happier!

Participants,

All tickets for the Weekend have been sold. We will be 35 people working together to build a new product over the Weekend, starting tomorrow night at 6PM.

Keep visiting this site for frequent updates throughout the Weekend.

I just gave an interview about the Weekend to the great team of The LiVE 88.5 Start-Up. Tune in to 88.5 FM over the next few days to learn more about our event. It should run couple of times.

I am pleased to say that Ottawa Web Weekend will be on May 9-11, 2008.

It will take place at TheCodeFactory downtown on Queen St.

We will start the registration process soon.

Can’t wait!

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.
