Toronto Transit Camp '07 is a go!
What is it? Well, as the website explains , it's
an ad-hoc gathering at the Gladstone Hotel of designers, transit geeks, bloggers, visual artists, tech geeks and cultural creators passionate about transit in Toronto and the TTC. It is a platform for Toronto's talented design community and enthusiastic transit users and fans to demonstrate their creativity and contribute to a better way for Toronto's transit system. The content and ideas generated in this open unconference will be delivered to the TTC for their consideration in their work.
The idea for it came up at the TTC website-improvement brainstorming session a few weeks ago, but it quickly took on a life of it's own, in no small way thanks to the leadership of Jay Goldman and Mark Kuznicki. The About blurb over at the website has a bit more on where the idea came from.
If you're interested in participating, you can find out more and register on the registration page. There's more detail about how participants will be drawn through both invitation and open registration here.
Update: Joey "Accordion Guy" deVilla provides an excellent explanation of what's going on and why you should participate.
Even more up-to-date: It's official – the TTC will re-issue their website RFP [Torontoist].
