An update on BarCampBankBC.
Here's a little update on BarCampBankBC.We started a Facebook page. You can sign up for the event there and use it to help spread the word.
Pecha Kucha
We decided to do a Pecha Kucha to close out Day One. What's a Pecha Kucha? Glad you asked.
Pronounced "peh-chak-cha," it is a mix of show-and-tell, open-mike night and happy hour. It has become the forum for ideas on design, architecture and lots of other stuff. Pecha Kucha has swept the world in just four years now having taken place in over 80 cities globally. Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each. This gives each presenter 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, the interest level up, and gives more people the chance to show.
We have 12 spots open. To grab the spot you want, add your name and presentation description in the table on the wiki.
38 people so far
We currently have 38 people signed up on the wiki, and I'm very excited at the diversity of attendees. You can see the full list here.
Sponsors
We now have all our sponsors in place, which is very exciting, and helps keep our costs way down. They include:So make a plan to come to BarCampBankBC and join the conversation. We'd love to see you here...
PS: Tim also has a post today, where you can download some nice banners for BCBBC, like this one.

Doing what I can to spread the BarCampBank and credit union love in the wikiverse. I've also started the wikipedia articles on America's Credit Union Museum, Edward Filene, dual chartering, the Federal Credit Union Act, and Dora Maxwell, and have done some editing on the credit union article, CUNA, Pierre Jay, and Louise McCarren Herring. Fortunately I am not the only one. A Second-generation CU'er, James Miller, Jr. in New Jersey has done some good work, as have editors Brett Epic (a Torontonian) and Dubc0724, and many many others.
oo, I see some more credit union related articles that need starting....
