beCamp 2007 ARCHIVED

The following is an archive of the beCamp 2007 organizational page (recapture the moments at beCamp2007Recap):


beCamp June 15-16 @ Fry's Spring Beach Club (Charlottesville, VA)

If you're a geek in or around the Charlottesville metroplex or even if you're merely tech-curious, this is the event you don't want to miss. beCamp is Charlottesville's version of the BarCamp unconference phenomenon—organized on the fly by attendees, for attendees. Realizing that the most energizing parts of any tech conference are the ad hoc conversations that take place in the hallways between the sessions, beCamp facilitates these types of interactions for an entire event. We provide the venue (the funky, historic Fry's Spring Beach Club), the wireless, the projectors, the food, da beer—you show up to teach, learn, and participate. wino kredyt mieszkaniowy sprzedam mieszkanie sprzedam bilet

 

Each attendee has to talk about something or volunteer (registration, set-up, teardown, etc.). There will be a number of sessions which will be picked by the attendees at the start of the event. For example, if lots of people want to hear about Blacklight, then that will be on the agenda. If no one wants to hear about HTML5, then it won't be on the agenda.

 

Think of it as an open-source geek gathering where you get to decide what goes into and what comes out of the event. It's 2 days of creating, collaborating, and conversing with people just as juiced excited about technology as you are.

By the way, did we mention beCamp is FREE!?

Meals may cost, unless we can get y'all to help us with sponsors for those as well! ;-)
