With such a large tech community in Toronto there has been a lot of growth this year in Toronto applicants to the 2010 SXSW convention ( held in Austin Texas, more info can be found here) as so many have now made it to the voting stages I thought it would make things a lot easier to have all the sessions in one place for everyone to vote and show your support . I hope to see everyone there!

Sigh. I know I’m not in Toronto anymore, but I’m only gone for a year, promise!
(So as an honorary — for the next few months until I move back home again — Torontonian, just letting you know that I’m going to be on the Passionate People panel with Meegs, James, and Ryan.)
I think @jaygoldman’s in on this one, too: http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/4670

Well said Rayanne! I think it takes a lot to plan out a session and put yourself forward to present at such a large conference! Good luck to everyone!
I’d add honorary Torontonian, sometimes Vancouverite David Eaves proposal “OpenData: Creating Cities That Think Like the Web”, http://panelpicker.sxsw.com/ideas/view/4010?return=/#comment-21844
