A SkyTrain Unconference and the NextUP Verdict

September 25, 2008 20:22 +0000 | Activism Transit Vancouver 2

Translink is organising it's own unconference probably in much the same form as Toronto's Transit Camp. This one coming up will be based around security, but I imagine that it will be a good place to meet smart activist types and learn more about how transit works and what it needs in Vancouver.

I've you've got the time, I encourage you to register on the SkyTrain Security Unconference website. I've managed to schedule it into my day just before my interview with NextUP as they've accepted my application (yay!), and I was just invited to an interview with them on the same day at 3pm.

Daniel,

Thanks for registering for the Unconference! Great that you're excited about it. If you want to find out more about the Transit Camp we had in Vancouver, we have some session notes (rescued from our poor, down wiki) at http://barcamp.org/TransitCampVancouver.

Also, I'm so disappointed that I didn't hear about NextUP before the deadline passed. Sounds like the sort of thing that would have been right up my alley; but I hope you'll let us know all about it on your blog!

Well if you'll be at Barcamp this weekend, I'll look for you and we can talk transit if you like ;-) I'm sorry I missed the last one, but I'd only been in Vancouver a few days at that point so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. I'll keep my ears open for the next one though!
