BarCamp Vancouver 2008
Made by PageBadge

There is a barcamp happening in Vancouver. Barcamp is one of the coolest unconferences where people get to plan the content of the event. It is also a great event to meet a lot of creative and friendly people, learn about their recent projects, and also it is a good opportunity for you to brag about your recent projects.

I would really like to encourage the Tazzu members to attend this event.

Are you ready? Here it comes … the SteakCamp !!!

Well we had the Joomla Camp (here and here) and then the WordCamp and if you ever had a chance to meet Raul (aka hummingbird604 ) he is planning to do a SteakCamp.

If you have been following Raul’s blog, you probably know that he writes reviews about Vancouver’s restaurants, and apparently he has accepted the challenge of writing a review for this little restaurant in East Vancouver called the Brave Bull which sells steak for 8.95 and according to the www.BuzzBishop.com blog “it’s serving food. And people are leaving the place alive.”

I’ve offered to make a few blog posts and create a facebook event for the SteakCamp so many of us could arrange to show up at the Brave Bull on Monday evening. You know when it gets to Food and Friends I am there, so bring in your cameras and appetite so we can have a joly good time together.

Vancouver Joomla Day was a major success!

Vancouver Joomla Day

I should have made this post on Monday, but we were still recovering from the event and catching up with the lost work hours for our client’s projects.

For those of you who missed this event, it was held on June 14th in the Vancouver Public Library. To learn more you can read this blog post.

Vancouver Joomla Day

I guess the pictures from the Vancouver Joomla Day speak for themselves, we did have a great time all together. There were concerns in the past that Joomla! wasn’t nearly as recognized as Wordpress or Drupal in the Vancouver area, and this event busted the Myth! Based on the multiple counts, we had about 120 people show up. The ratio of ladies to gentlemen were about 1 to 3; we certainly hope to have more ladies involved in these type of events in the future.

Vancouver Joomla Day

Based on the community feedback, about 11 people showed up (correct me if I’m wrong) at the last Joomla Day held in Toronto, so I think it is safe to announce the Vancouver Joomla Day as being the largest one ever in Canada so far.
