DemoCamp was back on last night at No Regrets. Its been a busy week in Toronto with TransitCamp yesterday and GreenCamp tomorrow. Last night featured the following:

1. Mozilla Contributions by David Humphrey
   David talked about his students involvement with the Mozilla open source project and some of the different components they have been able to contribute. It was great to see open source getting some focus but not wasn’t a very exciting demo. I think alot of the crowd were also very familar with open source software and the process to contribute.
2. BubbleShare v2.0 by Albert Lai
   It was great to see Albert again and he spoke alot of about the recent Bubbleshare purchase by Kaboose Media. Albert did demo the new Bubbleshare interface but most of the discussion revolved around the purchase. Albert talked about alot of the details surrounding the purchase and how the valuation worked. He also offered a ‘steak dinner bounty’ for information rumours of an earlier buyout that appeared on the One Degree site. Overall I think his presentation was well receive and there were alot of questions.
3. Iotum by Alec Saunders
   Iotum have built a presence application for the BlackBerry that provides the ability the ability to organize your time with out people. Instead of blindly trying to dial people you can see if they are available and get a reminder about what you wanted to talk to them about. The demo was a little confusing with multiple Blackberries, fictious owners and the DemoCamp time limit. Overall it was the best demo of the night though.
4. Flock by Will Pate
   Flock is a browser based on the Firefox project and provides a lot more social features. Its a fairly big project with most of the team on the west coast. Even with a crash half-way through ( Will was using a mac… ) Will was able to convey alot of the cool features that flock provides. Its not really clear to me why alot of these features are just included in FF or added via extensions.

The night ended with updates from various past presenters. Many of the past alumni are doing very well, including FreshBooks, JobLoft and ConceptShare. The night ended with some social networking and a general commitment to keep DemoCamp going.

Its a very busy week in Toronto with GreenCamp tonight.
