Liveblogging Northern Voice 2008

Northern Voice 2008Northern Voice 2008 starts today with MooseCamp, an unconference with spontaneous, self-organized sessions. MooseCamp also includes Internet Bootcamp for those that want a quick primer on blogging, wikis, podcasting, videoblogging, liveblogging, traffic/statistics, and tagging.

At 1:30, I’ll lead the Wiki 101 session of Internet Bootcamp. We’ll talk about several of the topics covered so far in 21 Days of Wiki Adoption, and a few that are yet to come. So if you’re here you’ll get a sneak peek! Otherwise, keep watching the blog for new videos all next week.

Some quick facts about the conference (from Darren Barefoot):

  • This is the fourth year for the conference, which started in February, 2005. You can see the sites for previous years here: 2007, 2006, 2005.
  • The first two years it was at UBC Robson Square, and last year and this year it’s been out at the Forestry building at the UBC main campus.
  • In the first year we had about 160 people in attendance, which was a sell-out at the time. We’ve increased capacity each year, and sold out each year. We’ll exceed more than 300 attendees this year.
  • It’s a two day conference, with ‘Moose Camp’ being Friday’s unconference (including an Internet Boot Camp) and Saturday being a more conventional conference.
  • Saturday starts with a keynote by Matt Mullenweg(blog), founder of WordPress. Then things break into three tracks, for a total of 20 sessions.
