Love this team for pulling together a great event.
Random rantings of a grouchy old man: I wish I could take all students out and tell them job titles in a student organization are pretty much irrelevant. Vice president, technical director, consultant. Yes they are industry titles, but they only demonstrate that you are worth of buzzword bingo. My recommendation, stop with the bullshit titles, start with 140 characters describing what you did.
Keep up the great work at UofT. Details about DemoCamp Toronto 26 in the next day or so.
We have raised $2930 ($2330 + $600), that Gurbaksh has generously agreed to match. There are 2 options for making a donation.
Make a donation directly to MSF and publish your receipt tagging #democamphaiti (it’s also really helpful if you send me the link, but this is the easiest option)
I also managed to offer Greg Balajewicz, Realm of Empires a spot, thinking that I had invited him after sending email to the also invited Greg Thomson of Tall Tree Games. Realm of Empires team has been fantastic in cutting me some slack on a mistake and will present at the next DemoCamp.
To help support relief efforts in Haiti, 100% of the DemoCamp donations will be going to Doctors without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières. Gurbaksh has elevated the challenge to DemoCamp attendees. He will personally match the donations from the DemoCamp crowd (at a minimum, we’ve been talking about him donating a multiple of the DemoCamp number).
Just to make sure there are the appropriate checks and balances, I will publish the donation receipt on Jan 27, 2010 on DemoCamp.com. This is not a cash grab, I am happy to make as much information available to make sure that everyone understands all moneys will be donated. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have concerns at david at davidcrow dot ca or using my contact page.
