Damn. I'm fairly sure this page shouldn't be here and I can't seem to delete it.
BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.
Andy Luke's thoughts on Comics Barcamp in 2009 http://wikiworldbook.com/blog-325-Learning-Barcamp-and-Comics.html
Comics Barcamp it is hoped will pool the knowledge and share it amongst comics creators and other people with an interest in the industry North and South of Ireland. One aim is to see a follow-up event in the South next year.
I don't know yet what shape it will take. Will it be a Comics and Animation Barcamp? This might certainly attract more people and ensure funding, but would lose some of the speciality. People are free to suggest topics and guide topics. Everyone is a guest. Nobody pays, but everyone contributes.
Have a look around http://barcamp.org - if you've not been to a BarCamp before you should probably understand the concept in advance of what you'll get out of the experience.
