BarCampOhio

Page history last edited by PBworks 15 years, 6 months ago

BarCampOhio & LibraryCampOhio

 

Read (and contribute to) the BarCampOhioWrapUP page! So far we've posted the topics that were proposed. What else?

 

_______ Past Event Details _________

 

Monday, August 11, 2008 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (and a while after)

 

Registration is CLOSED!

 

This page can be used to organize other BarCampOhio events too not just the Columbus event on Monday August 11, 2008. Let's keep the conversation going in different cities!

 

_________ Sponsors! _________

 

We're really happy that OCLC is donating the space for this event including many supplies, setup and even some clean up!

 

And we're thrilled that T-Mobile has jumped on board as our sponsor! They are providing lunch for us!! Thank you!!!

 

_________ About Monday, August 11 _________

This event is being organized as two great camps on the same day. The idea is to bring together two communities of technologists, business IT folks and library IT folks (and interested parties like marketers, strategist, etc.)!

 

Where? Dublin, Ohio at The Conference Center at OCLC. Here's a Google map to the Conference Center at 6565 Kilgour Pl. Dublin Ohio, 43017.

 

Registration and Fees

Registration is CLOSED! Because we had to pre-order things, refunds cannot be processed after August 7th.

 

_________ What is BarCamp? _________

 

First and foremost: This is NOT a conference. Do not expect to be talked at by an 'expert' behind a podium. This is an event similar to getting together with some friends at a bar to talk. That's the "bar" part of BarCamp. The "camp" part is a little much for us to pull off so if you do read the BarCamp page, keep in mind that you do NOT need to bring a sleeping bag.

 

Here is a Wikipedia page describing BarCamps.

 

Our take on BarCamp will be similar, but without the overnight aspect.

 

_________ What to expect? _________

You should expect to present an idea/topic or help present one. If everyone comes with an idea, then we'll be sure to have something to talk about. You'll influence attendees and speed up the ideation process if you have an 'elevator speech' already prepared to explain your idea.

 

_________ Probable Schedule _________

 

The word 'schedule' might be too strong, but we have to have a place to start (at 10 a.m.) and a place to finish up (at 5:30 p.m.). And that implies a schedule.

 

So here is what we are planning:

 

10 a.m. Post your ideas/topics to the paper on the wall
10:15 a.m. necessary announcements to start the day, after all, you'll at least need to know where to find the bathrooms
10:25 a.m. Assigning ideas/topics a specific area, room or table
10:45 a.m. until lunch Start sharing, learning and stuff
lunch Talk and eat! Hopefully we will be able to provide a lunch for all attendees, if not everyone will have to buy their own lunch at the OCLC cafeteria on the second floor. I'm stating up front that talking with food in your mouth is OK. Just don't get ketchup on your keyboard.
after lunch switch sessions, find new ideas/topics or continue old ones
4:30 or so If the group thinks it is useful, we will gather everyone together and share some of the big ideas or significant things that we've learned
5:30 Help us clean up a bit while we exchange contact information (which is necessary to keep the conversations going
6 p.m. Leave the building before 6 p.m. or we'll be charged more money!!!
6:15 For all those able to stay later for dinner will organize and go to one of the nearby restaurants to continue the fun.
The day after Think about how you can organize the next BarCampOhio or LibraryCamp in another Ohio city

_________ Back Ground Info _________

We, Bob and Peter, got together to think about the who's and the how's involved in getting BarCampOhio off the ground. Given our backgrounds and connections an idea occurred to us: a dual-track unconference bringing together business technologists and interested parties and library technologists and their interested parties. Why!?

 

Library technologists and staff have:

 

  • Strong roots in all of our communities
  • A couple decades of experience dealing with massive amounts of data
  • Great sensitivity to privacy and identity management on a limited scale

 

Business technologists have:

 

  • Around 8 or more years of experience dealing with Web-scale applications and problems
  • Have a get-it-done-NOW need
  • Typically have more marketing experience and/or resources

 

Where is this going to take place? Columbus Metro area

A site is in the works. We will finalize the location in the next week or two

 

When is it? Mid August 2008 (give or take a bit depending on finalizing the location)

 

Who's involved so far? Bob Robertson-Boyd and Peter Murray and YOU!

 

_________ Ideas: _________

 

I propose to make this a PowerPoint-free zone. I'd love to get someone to donate some portable whiteboards, giant sticky notes or something similar. I'll take stick figures over transitions any day!

Update: We will have giant sticky notes!

 

I think powerpoint is ok, but should be limited to 5-15min type demos or talks. If it enables people to express themselves don't take that way. Just change it up a little on them. Ideally it would be great to have white boards and stickies everywhere, but heck we got what 3 people here so far?! heh.. -dan
