Welcome to the Innovators Track at VON!

I've been bugging the Pulver team for a couple of years now to run a track at VON that's oriented around the latest technologies — what's new, the up and coming technologies, the early stage companies… all the cool stuff that turns my crank.  Well, my wishes have been answered.  Check out the new innovators track at Fall VON.  With sessions like VoIP on 3G, Rapid Apps on Rails, and Social Networking this promises to be something new and exciting for VON.

Cool!

Co-working at the Ottawa CodeFactory

What if you're a very early stage startup, and you need a little space but don't want to sign up for a lease?  Or perhaps you want the interaction and shared problem solving you get working working with a larger group of people.  Ian Graham's latest initiative might be just the thing for you then.  The following email arrived in my inbox Thursday afternoon.

Subject: the CodeFactory Preview

The CodeFactory will be Ottawa's co-working space for independent professionals and early stage businesses.

Co-working is work space built around shared facilities and services that provide a productive and inspirational work environment. Its open areas are part coffee shop and part DemoCamp while its private offices are about efficiency and productivity.

A site has been selected and preliminary plans have been developed. Now it’s your turn to say what your ideal co-working space needs to be like.

Preview the plans at:

The ClockTower Restauraunt on Bank Street (just south of the 417)
Tuesday October 9th -  11:45am - 1:20pm
Light Snacks will be served (if you can confirm that helps me determine what to order)

Come and influence how Ottawa's first co-working space gets build.  I look forward to your thoughts.
