Following the successful first Beaver Bar Camp we are going ahead with plans for our second community event. Hope you can make 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.
Please use our new registration page as well as adding your name below, so we can get an accurate count.
Event Information: We will be posting the schedule and other event day into on the Beaver Bar Camp Google Site, and don't forget to join the Google group to get important notifications about the event!
