			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Patrick and I went to Critical Mass on Friday to see how they run their BeerCamp. I was really impressed with the turnout! Super happy to see that many people on a Friday afternoon (they run a BeerCamp on the first Friday of every month).</p>
<p>They ran three tracks, with a schedule posted on each door. I started my afternoon off by listening/watching a Critical Mass group of Rock Band. They rocked a couple of tunes on HARD, which was pretty impressive. I gotta say though, that was the tamest Rock Band Session I&#8217;ve ever seen&#8230;</p>
<p>Second session, I went to an overview on Amazon Web Services given by Devlin Dunsmore and <a target="_blank" href="http://miketighe.net/" title="Mike Tighe">Mike Tighe</a>. We&#8217;re so Web2.0 focused in my office, it was interesting to hear an explanation on EC2 and S3 for people who don&#8217;t sleep with their laptops. Devlin and Mike did a great job.</p>
<p>I then went to listen to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.idicula.ca/" title="Christian Idicula">Christian Idicula</a>, a regular DemoCamp/BarCamp attendee. He talked about the website he made for <a target="_blank" href="http://www.doniveson.ca" title="Don Iveson">Don Iveson</a>. He explained the thought process behind creating the website and the different tools they used during Don Iveson&#8217;s campaign.</p>
<p>The last session I attended was <a target="_blank" href="http://miketighe.net/" title="Mike Tighe">Mike Tighe</a>, again, talking about Keywords (yay!), while <a target="_blank" href="http://patricklor.typepad.com/" title="Patrick">Patrick</a> gave a talk about his experiences in another session.</p>
<p>One thing I really liked about about the set up at Critical Mass was the wide variety of topics. I would love for all of us to keep that in mind for the next BarCamp. Anything you want to give a talk on, throw it out there! I&#8217;d way rather hear something new and interesting over yet-another-talk on How to Network. BeerCamp has definitely inspired me to invite anyone interesting that I know and not just limit myself to the Tech community.</p>
<p>Thanks again to Critical Mass for inviting us to join you!</p>
