Social experiments are very popular these days and the Ottawa Web weekend is a twist on this theme.

People register for this weekend and pick what they want to be involved in.

• Programmer/Architect/Systems
• Designer/Intergration
• Marketing/Media/Communication
• Business
• Legal
• Weekend Organizer

The goal is to “launch a web product and start a company by Sunday night”. Participants get shares in the company according to how much time they spend building it.

It is a BYOL event, what’s that? Bring your own laptop.

I am very intrigued so want to sign up. I still have to decide what I want to participate in. Business or Marketing? Any suggestions?? Here are some discussions regarding this event.
