While I couldn’t be at Casecamp 7 recently, I saw an accordion as the still image for the video report from Rahaf Harfoush on Foush Reports on CaseCamp7 » ThomasPurves.com.
Let’s see, unconference in Toronto, dealing with tech … well it has to be Joey deVilla.
Yep, of course it was.

Great video.  Man I wish I could make it to more events like this.  Vancouver seems so, so far away sometimes.

I attended the first mesh back in 2006 (still have the t-shirt too!), but missed last year’s mesh.  I don’t think I’ll make the same mistake twice.  The dates were announced on the mesh blog and on the blogs of the organizers Mark, Mathew, Rob, and Stuart.  While the conference itself is sure to be interesting and exciting, I think meshU could be the most fun of the conference…
