DemoCampCalgary is a get together for those crafting new software in Calgary, and anyone looking to support upcoming Calgarian businesses.
I performed a video capture and summarized the event, which is available in full at Calgary’s BarCamp / DemoCamp blog. Below is a copy of the full video, with shortcuts to my favorite moments.
| 00:31 | Mark Rosenberger shows off Tagle (formerly called Side Finder). This “information connector” tracks your tagged or taggable data, and also automatically propagates desired tags to sites such as Flickr. |
| 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. I’m looking forward to recording this for MJ, as I’m curious about iPhone development myself. |
| 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. |
| 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.
If you think you’d enjoy DemoCamp, then you will. I’ve been to just about all of them in Calgary, and there’s always been at least one presentation which surprises me.
