BarCamp Saskatoon

BarCamp 2009 was held on Saturday.

There were some great speakers and lively discussions at Louis' on the U of S campus. The turnout was good, however, the Roughriders playing in the Grey Cup in Calgary may have had a slight impact on the attendees and speakers list.

Special thanks to all of our speakers, volunteers and supporters.

There is also an article called "A conference for the common people" in today's Star Phoenix:

Thanks everyone and see you next year!
