Vancouver's first BarCamp happens this coming weekend (August 25 & 26). Timed to be a part of BarCamp Earth, BarCamp Vancouver will start with a BBQ on Friday, camping for those brave enough, and then really get into the swing of things on Saturday. I'm excited to meet a number of Vancouverites who I've only known through their online presence. Attendee list is 120 strong with an overflow waitlist. Proposed topics range from Yoga for Geeks to Introverts & Social Software, from the monetization of podcasts to making seach fun. Can't wait!

Also, big thanks to the folks who are pulling it together! Coordinating the logistics of a BarCamp (even if it is an unconference) is no small task!
