#BCTO09 – Summary
Personally I think Book Camp Toronto was a huge success! I love the notion of an “unconference” and the grass-roots level of discussion, both within the sessions and without. I will definitely be back next year!
I got a lot out of the sBook session. Their thinking is the same as mine in regards to printed books eventually being relegated to a status of a souvenir item in time. I can see content becoming more format-agnostic and see it becoming more organic as well. When I talked about Google Wave, I got invited to the sLab to see what they’re doing. Very exciting times we are in!!
Special thanks to the organizers:
I wish I had time to put some more context around some of the jot notes I took (see previous posts) but when you’re participating in an unconference it’s a little hard. Here are some blog posts of folks that did a much better job than I did:

David, thanks for linking to my blog post on conversations. I’d agree that notes are generally difficult around an unconference however they are generally a great way to express ideas or build upon them.
Your invitation to sLab sounds fascinating — it’d be interesting to hear what they are tinkering with
