You must have rubbed elbows with them at Podcamp Montreal 2010. They were on site to greet and guide you, and worked behind the scenes on all the tiny details that make a successful event. They may be the next generation of bloggers and podcasters — indeed several are are already active in the social media space.

Who were those masked men (and women)? Some were  students of the maîtrise en gestion du commerce électronique de l’Université de Sherbrooke, others were speakers who wanted to give a little extra, and others where participants who pitched in to help.

We want to send a special thank you out to (from left to right) Thoma Daneau (speaker), Maxime St-Jean Bergeron, François Bernard-Sévigny, Amine Chemchaoui, Charley Rabec, Maxime Trudel (special mention for outstanding intiative), Emmanuel Chila (who wants to become a PodCamp Montreal speaker one day), Antoine Lamarre and Simon Galarneau.

And for the women: Claudine Gagnon, Aurélie Guellil and Karine Champagne (thanks to her, our numbers were strong).

Absent from the photo: Michaël Bergeron, Mathieu Laferrière, Mathieu Lavallée ( MédiaCamp organiser) and Patrick M. Lozeau (speaker)

Dear volunteers, to you we dedicate this little ditty by a band called Les ptits coucous : Merci aux bénévoles!

Thanks to a good number of Île sans fil members in attendance (sometimes with their families), PodCamp Montreal attendees benefitted from a free Internet WiFi access in all conference rooms.

We want to give a warm shout out to Île sans fil and its volunteers who supported us for a second consecutive year, and we hope to continue our relationship with this dynamic team for future editions.
