Here are some pictures of Mobile Tech 4 Social Change Halifax barcamp held this weekend in Halifax. Here`s what Dale Zak, event organizer and mobile software developer had to say about our presentation:
The equally talented on both land and water Dan Robichaud of Community Access Program Halifax postponed a kayaking trip so he can host a top-notch session on Geolocation Tips and Tricks. I listened to Dan talk back in January at Podcamp and I was blown away the cutting edge geo-caching initiatives he's been doing to help small Nova Scotia communities. He started his presentation with video clip of Barbara Allen talking about their GPS project in Terrance Bay to promote well-being, increase tourism and better inform people of historic locations, brilliant stuff!

Andrew just completed his third successful year of study at
This is Andrews third term with the Halifax Regional C@P Association and Andrew intends to spend the duration of his tenure offering his knowledge, skills and interests to the Waverly C@PSite and surrounding community. Last summer Andrew redesigned the community’s webpage, which now contains a multitude of features designed to strengthen a sense of community across the diaspora of citizens in the Waverly community and abroad. This summer Andrew plans to continue the development of the website by adding features and community related information to the page.
Additionally, to meet the demand of community citizen, Andrew plans to offer a range of classes related to internet and communications technologies at the Waverly C@PSite, including: Twitter, Facebook, eBay, and Amazon .ca, to name a few.
“I feel privileged to be a part of the C@P program. My interest are primarily technology based, and I very much enjoy being able to share my knowledge with the community of Waverly”, Andrew says.
Welcome back Andrew, and best of luck during the 2009 Summer Youth Initiative.
