Telsters to run First Ever TelCamp Toronto

TORONTO - The self-named Telsters community, owners of the new communications-centric .tel domains launched in March 2009, today announced the first ever TelCamp in Canada. It will be hosted by some of the leading .tel owners and developers including Scott Smith, “Freaky Steve” and Mark Kolb.

“TelCamp 1 Toronto is a community-driven event where attendees define the agenda and collaborate on themes and issues surrounding .tel domains,” says Scott Smith, President of TelCartel.com. “Attendees will also learn techniques to help create new and compelling uses for the domains from community experts.”

.tel domains are low-cost, low-tech online sites under the control of the owner where data can be stored and quickly updated on any device connected to the internet, including mobile. It can be as simple as an online business card listing all contact information the owner wants to share. However, many in the .tel community harness the power of dynamic data being stored in a .tel domain and use them for more complex solutions such as listing weather reports and city events (bigcity.tel) or a comprehensive public interactive service directory (yorkregion.tel).

Telnic Limited, the Registry Operator for the .tel domain, will be represented at the event by Communications Director Justin Hayward: “TelCamps are a great initiative that the .tel community has come up with, and we’re very pleased to be able to be present at TelCamp 1 Toronto. It’s important to celebrate the innovation that’s coming from within the .tel community and Steve and Mark are amongst the most active and successful .tel pioneers so this will be a great learning event for all.”

People wishing to attend this free event taking place from 8.30 a.m. on Saturday 15th August can sign up on the TelCamp 1 Toronto wiki at www.telcampus.org/wiki/TelCamp.
