I’ve registered to participate in the Ottawa Web Weekend taking place May 9-11 at TheCodeFactory (246 Queen Street, second floor).
Twenty-three people have registered to participate (so far); specialists in programming/architecture/systems, design/integration, marketing/media/communications, business and law. The plan is that over a weekend of crazy long hours of collaboration, a new web product will emerge.
It’s a technological barn raising; an innovative idea called Web Weekend, modeled after something called Startup Weekend.
The concept is simple. A group of people gather in one place for an entire weekend to conceive a web-based product. By the time everyone heads home on Sunday night, a new company will have been formed with shares allocated based on individual contributions. The first of these Startup Weekends took place in Boulder, Colorado in July of 2007. Since then there’s been similar events around the world including Toronto, Hamburg, San Francisco and London.
According the Ottawa Web Weekend website, Ottawa will be hosting its first Web Weekend, May 9-11, 2008 at theCodeFactory (246 Queen Street).

I served as bass player for various, early, incarnations of the Robert Farrell Band, last performing with Robert in 1997. After a long hiaitus from music to focus on family and a career, I started working on my first CD, real, in 2004 — before I discovered Podcasting.
