Baa Camp

February 2, 2007

I’m currently away at Baa Camp, the New Zealand Foo Camp and really enjoying the conversations, discussions and networking here. It’s great to be around other talented and inspiring Kiwis working in the online space, along with people like Lars Rasmussen (Google Maps) and Ben Goodger (Google/Firefox).

The event kicked off last night with a great discussion about the broadband problems (and, more importantly, possible solutions) led by Minister of Communications/Minister for Information Technology David Cunliffe (possibly a distant relative). I came away really impressed by the way he listened to the concerns and ideas the group had and how he has now put the issue of peering on his agenda.

Rod Drury is the only one I’ve discovered so far who is blogging about the event, but I’m sure there will be others here doing the same.

  1. Was great to finally meet you after having followed both your blogs and other community projects (mmm, I think I can say that about ALOT of people here at BaaCamp). Rod’s not the only one one blogging: Juha (http://www.geekzone.co.nz/juha) and Laura Thomson (http://laurat.blogs.com/random_ramblings/2007/02/kiwi_foo_morale.html) and several others have also been blogging from camp.

  3. Hi, will you have some excursion, anything else than the event? I was in new Zeland in 2002, and since then I admire the land. So if you go to some special place, share it!

  6. [...] The attendees were a crazy mixture of famous bloggers, media personalities, a former Shortland St star/ turned rock star/ turned web entrepreneur, lots of open source people (actually, lots of open source geeks) + one brave Microsoftie, government ministers, designers, legends of Mozilla/Google, hardware, software and content people, journalists, not to mention a couple of shameless fashion victims.
