Notes from BarCamp Vancouver

August 26, 2006 - 9:38pm — bmann

every event should make a list of "fun URLs" that get thought up at events -- and then registered, like http://www.myurlistoolong.com
there were are as many great presentations that I couldn't make it to as I did attend
we need to find a kit to stress-test wireless networks ahead of time...or revert to wired connections
I got to talk to many great people...and also missed spending time with others (too many to mention...but Zug is definitely in my thoughts)
Google needs to point out who the heck is going to talk about identity issues (from technical interop to privacy); also, say things in public about your logging policy
every time I talk about microformats I passionately argue the opposite case; they are a great solution for putting mixed, structured content into one big text blob (i.e. a blog post with an event, a location, some people, and a resume); they are not a great solution for passing structured data between systems and/or for presenting a pure feed of one type of data (events, people, etc.)
