- Here's Phillipe Lejeune's video collage of the coding contest. It's version 0.8 and we still need to add some information such as the names of the team members, a good brief description of the rules of the contest and perhaps some links to the final project(s) site(s) but overall the video rocks and really captures the vibe of the contest and BarCampBoston2.
What
BarCamp is an unConference, organized on the fly by attendees, for attendees. There is no registration fee, but you don't just attend a BarCamp -- you can participate in discussions, demo your projects, or join into another cooperative event. Topics may include, but are not limited to: open source software, startups, UI design, entrepreneurship, AJAX, hardware hacking, robotics, mobile computing, bioinformatics, RSS, Social Software, programming languages, and the future of technology. There will be a software development contest. The winning team gets a helicopter ride with Phil Greenspun as pilot. There will be lots of other fun activities day and night throughout the conference. Please note that BarCamp has nothing to do with Booze. There will be absolutely no alcoholic beverages on site.

How to Participate
There are multiple ways to participate in BarCampBoston2. If you think of a better way -- add it!

- Lightning Talks: 5-minute, usually one-person talks on a specific subject. You can talk about your project, your company, or a technical challenge that's been keeping you up at night. Lightning Talks are delivered in nooks and crannies all around BarCamp in between session blocks. If you're afraid of public speaking, Lightning Talks are for you. Offer or suggest topics at BarCampBoston2LightningTalks.
- Posters/Demos: Set up a table in the central common area and show everyone how you can do something useful and fun. Demo during lunch time and/or session time. Show off your own work, pick a favorite open source project, or whatever. Offer or suggest topics at BarCampBoston2Demos.

Sponsors get their logo placed prominently on the sponsor wall, and earn a place in the heart of local geeks. Food and computer hardware giveaway sponsors are also welcome.
