Anyway, my talk will be something like "Computer Networking (& Technical Sales) 101: What is it and how does it work (and what is it I do)?!" (Everyone always asks me what it is I do, and even when I explain it most people still don't have a clue, so we'll have an open discussion on anything related to Computer Networking & Technical Sales for people who want to learn about it!)

Questions
Do I have to come with a presentation? Not necessarily. Barcamp is about participation. And a presentation can be about a lot of things. Demo a new product. Share a methodology. Participate in a panel. Suggest a topic. Make jello shots, host werewolf or bring your Wii and some games.
I can't make it until around seven on Saturday. How should I reserve a place for a session?
Help Us Get the Word Out!
Here's the boiler plate:
BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference 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.
All attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one. All presentations are scheduled the day they happen. Prepare in advance, but come early to get a slot on the wall.
Presenters are responsible for making sure that notes/slides/audio/video of their presentations are published on the web for the benefit of all and those who canât be present.
Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.
