DemoCamp7 Ottawa

DemoCamp is a great way to showcase you software or hardware and get some great feedback from an informed audience. There are many Camps worldwide and it’s open to anyone. So if you have a product to demo or want to see the up and coming entrepreneurs drop by.

The next session, in Ottawa, will be

Date: Monday, January 28, 2008 from 7pm to 9pm
Location: Clock Tower Pub on Bank Street (575 Bank St.), just south of the Queensway.

It’s best to register ahead of time.

If there are no BarCamps, DemoCamps, BlogCamps etc. in your city, go ahead and get one started. There are some basic rules that need to be followed, however, it’s very easy to organize one
DemoCamp7 looks to be very interesting with 6 demos lined up. Here’s a summary

This tool is used to automatically create records of Intellectual Property ownership and licensing attributes of external code (eg Open Source modules or snippets) that enter a project

In June of 2007 the TIQ was launched on Facebook to promote TravelPod, since then it’s been launched on Friendster, TravelPod, TripAdvisor and virally on 4000 other syndicated websites. The TIQ has now taken a life of its own generating millions of monthly unique visitors and driving significant traffic to TravelPod.com
