Transit Camp
http://vancouver.transitcamp.org/wiki/
I spent most of today at camp. There will be lots of information on what happened at the wiki link above, as everyone there it seemed was either taking notes, taking pictures or typing on their lap tops – and some doing all three at once while talking. There were also some brave souls from Translink.
I got some really neat buttons, and met some people – some of whom are regular readers of this blog. As with any event that has parallel streams I often wonder what went on in the ones I did not attend, but I found it heartening that such a diverse group of people thought it was worthwhile to come together just to talk about transit. And there is already a lot in the wiki and links from th facebook event page. It would also be nice to track what comes out of this.
And it is already being documented with (lots more links) in the blogosphere
Oh man I would have loved to have gone!!!
Please next time some notice in advance.
(Of course I spent all day studying for my planning exams so I couldn’t have gone, but anyways…

The organizers did quite a bit of advance publicity – mostly on various new media – facebook and stuff like that – but given the extensive nature of the amount of electronic information already available you can probably get all the information on line. I seem to have spent three hours since I got back just checking out web pages, flickr and so on.
