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.

We are about to start the Vancouver Joomla Day. We have 88 guys and 23 ladies so far (111 total) in the room which is more than the number of people who attended the Tazzu WordPress Camp. Who thought that Joomla! is not as well known as Drupal or WordPress in Vancouver? We proved them wrong!

If you have developed any project using the Joomla! CMS you are qualified to have your own 15 minutes of fame under the spotlight at the Vancouver Joomla Day event. We have 5 available spots for you. If we receive more than 5 we reserve the right to choose 6 projects out of them. We will however think of ways for the remaining submitted projects to get noticed as well.
15 minutes may not seem like a lot, but if you organize your speech as follows you can make the best use of it. To give you some tips have the following information ready about your project:
- An online Demo (with easy to remember URL)
- The elevator speech description of your project. Tell us what it is about in 2-3 lines max.
- Give us a link to more detailed descriptions online
- Give us some print hand outs about your project
- Throw in some quick surprising facts and interesting highlights about your project
You don’t have to focus on the software development aspects of your project. You can talk about the organizational behavior, social, and marketing aspect of your project too. Tell us what problems you were trying to solve and what were your challenges.
To submit your project you can simply post a url and description as a comment on this blog post
