Vancouver Business & Technology Community
Here is a follow-up to the Vancouver Joomla 1.5 Demo Camp. I apologize that it is somewhat late, but hey… better late than never!
The Joomla 1.5 Demo Camp was held by Rastin, Arash, and myself at the Network Hub in Vancouver. Turn out was really good with over 20 people in attendance.
UPDATE: This event was moved from Saturday Feb. 23rd to Tuesday Feb. 26th
Hello Tazzu Members,
On Feb 26th we will be gathering together to discuss and learn how to setup and maintain a small website using the Joomla! CMS version 1.5 . We will be discussing Information Architecture and Template Design methods, tips, and ideas. You will also get to meet other people and learn about their experiences about the content management systems.
Date: Saturday, Feb. 26th 2008 from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM
Location: At the Network Hub ( 3rd floor - 422 Richards Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada ). Our good friends Minna and Robert have been so kind and given us their beautiful work space for the entire day, and we’ll get free Wi-Fi Access too! Thank you Network Hub!

Well, the Vancouver Joomla DocCamp was a huge success!
More than a dozen of us camped out at Network Hub for the day… and between the free-flowing Timmy’s coffee and delicious donuts - conversation wound its way around Social Networking, Open Source, Content Management Systems vs Blogs, and Drupal, Wordpress, and Joomla of course!
With free wireless access, a beautfully warm & dry place to hang our hats, an extension cord to plug our laptops into (slightly resembling an octopus afterwards), and an exciting new Joomla product, it couldn’t help but be a near perfect DocCamp - all that was missing was the campfire and marshmallows!

Joomla! DocCamp is an exciting community effort, where a number of Joomla Developers and writers will be getting together to write documentation for the new Joomla! 1.5 framework.
Joomla! Doc camp will be happening simultaneously in many cities around the globe. So far, Vancouver BC, Brussels, and Washington DC have indicated they will be involved in this great community event.
We will be collaborating and writing documentation for Joomla, and having fun in the process. There will be live Blogging, Flickring, posted YouTube videos, interviews with the participants, and possibly a live video stream so that our counter-parts around the world can join us (virtually) in the fun!
Well, it’s that time again, to meet, greet, and eat! Everyone is invited to network and make new friends. Don’t forget your biz cards!

Well here we are again, kicking back at The Frog and Firkin - chasing away the summer heat! This months attendance was a grand slam ‘full house’. The fireplace room at the Firkin holds about 20 people, but we were hauling more chairs into the room so that we could all be seated.
Above: This is Vadim and myself posing for the camera - or at least I was! Vadim attends the Tazzu events on a regular basis, and is always up for great food and engaging conversation. In addition to being smart, he’s also very creative.
It was great to finally meet Fieran (above). He’s also known as emeraldconsulting in the forums, and has just recently moved back to the Greater Vancouver area. In the background is one of Bernie’s buddies - I never did have a chance to meet him, but any friend of Bernie’s is always a welcomed guest.
Above: Gary (Bluefur) and his sweet wife Lisa. They braved the crazy traffic from Surrey to Vancouer to join us - way cool! It is Gary’s company BlueFur which is generously sponsoring Tazzu by hosting our site. Thanks to Gary and the Gang at BlueFur for all your support!
