BarCamp Orlando Spring 2010

April 3rd was my first BarCamp Orlando – a free event run by the community and for the community. These occur throughout north America. Anyone can give a presentation on anything, but often they are about technology, publishing content, or social media. Due to sponsors, the event came with a free t-shirt and hot lunch (which was a great pasta buffet). You are asked to contribute in some way, helping with presentations or cleanup are obvious ways.

It was held in downtown Orlando, near the public library, at Slingapour’s, One Eyed Jacks, and Gibson Guitar Center.

Celebration FL Google Fiber Update

The deadline has passed, and Celebration FL submitted it’s RFI for the Google Fiber for Communities. Google is now reviewing all the submissions and will eventually announce which town(s) will win installation contracts.

Celebration residents banded together to create this video postcard message to Google:

As well as:

But the town didn’t stop there, if they win the contract Celebration plans to permanently rename one of their streets “Google Lane”:

Most of credit for the effort goes to Teddy Benson, who did a fantastic job moving quickly, creating the video, and submitting the RFI. I think it’s important to note that this was really all pulled together and produced in 2-3 weeks time, while other towns in the country began their promotional efforts in Feb.
