WIREDcamp was a huge success, and we owe it all to everyone who attended or participated online.

Some interesting stats:

• Over 100 people attended from all three levels of Canadian Government – federal, provincial and municipal
• We kicked-off the day with 4 awesome Ignite! style presentations
• 25 different sessions were proposed and hosted by participants, generating pages of collaboratively produced wiki notes
• We’ve got lots of multimedia – including video, and photos
• The #WIREDcamp Twitter hashtag generated interest far and wide, keeping everyone engaged and interacting

What’s next?

Well you all have your action items, but just in case you’ve forgotten they are here

• As you can see the idea of a govloopnorth was pretty popular, so Nick went ahead and started a govloopnorth group on govloop, join the discussion!
• Pub night! – Casey is getting this off the ground. He’s created a special twitter account you might want to follow to be sure you’re the first to know @wiredcamppub
• Get rid of IE6 – there was a big desire to kill IE6 – each and everyone of us should do something to advocate for that change
• And we should all be making sure to continue discussing and collaborating across jurisdictional lines, which I’m sure we’ll all do. Probably a good start to use the govloopnorth group on govloop – http://www.govloop.com/group/govloopnorth

Technowonk.ca – the unofficial website of #wiredcamp – will remain up and running for at least the next month.

Have photos or video? Please upload all your content to the web and share the links in the comments below. We’ll soon be importing the content to OPSpedia (OPS internal wiki) to share with colleagues who couldn’t attend.

Thanks again for helping make WIREDcamp such a success!
