DemoCampGuelph and Improvised Community Making

Kyle Mackie

Educational Consultant. Community Builder. Technology Champion.

I reckon I’ve attended 17 out of 20 DemoCampGuelph nights. Why do I come? Community. I know, it can be a problematic term, but there is something to it that’s worth holding on to. DemoCampGuelph is part of an important movement of improvised community-making, a new, responsive way of building networks of trust and respect, […]

Let’s be honest here, what I brought to the table that night was nothing short of spectacular, a masterpiece for the ages […]

A friend mentioned today that naming our upcoming DemoCampGuelph inspired event “DemoCampGuelph Old School” was confusing. Some people may think we’re stopping the existing DCG and replacing it with these events. To clarify, DCG proper is not changing.
