DemoCamp 9 Tonight!

DemoCamp Toronto logo

Tonight marks the return of DemoCamp — Toronto’s monthly show-and-tell for the software and web development crowd — to its regular schedule. Tonight’s DemoCamp will start 6:30 at No Regrets restaurant and lounge, located at 42 Mowat Avenue, near King and Dufferin. Since No Regrets is a restaurant — and one that makes very good food, at that — you’ll be able to enjoy dinner while seeing what the local tech community is up to.

Tonight’s demos are:

  • DictaBrain – A “rapid voice-to-text-to-blog transcription system”, which will be demonstrated by former Tucowser James Woods. (No, not the actor.)
  • InfoQ.com – Floyd Marinescu, creator of TheServerSide.com, will demonstrate InfoQueue, “independent online community focused on change and innovation in enterprise software development”.
  • ConceptShare – A new way to share and manage visual design concepts
  • The eMail company – “Build online webforms, webpolls, surveys, refer a friend forms, subscriber profile centres on the fly…and sooooo much more”
  • Pursudo – This one’s a creation of the fine people at Unspace. The motto for this application is “Put yourself out there”.

The DemoCamp rules remain in effect: each presenter has 15 minutes total for demonstration and Q&A, and no slideware is allowed. We don’t want to see the marketing presentation, we want to see your application in action!

In addition to performing a demonstration and fielding questions from the audience, each demonstrator should be prepared to answer the following 4 questions at the start:

  • Who are you?
  • What are you demoing?
  • What do you hope to get from the community?
  • What will the community/audience get out of your demo?

The demonstrations will run until around 8:30 or shortly afterwards, after which there’ll be the tradiitonal post-DemoCamp general social free-for-all. See you there!
