Satellite Campgrounds

 

Since we unfortunately can't camp at our venue, people have graciously offered up crash space for out of town BarCampers. If you can provide space, or are seeking space to crash while in town, please check out this section.

 

If you are seeking space, please contact one of the volunteer barcamping hosts listed below for space availability and details.

 

LA BarCamping Host(s) Number They Can Accommodate Best Method to Contact
     

 

 

 

 

 

What to bring

  • Laptop + power brick
  • A love for technology
  • Cool stuff to share with new friends
  • Jello shots
  • Whiskey
  • Werewolf cards
  • New ideas, new product demos
  • Business/Trading Cards
  • Your favorite random game pieces

 

Code of Conduct

Yeah, we don't like rules either, that's why we kept these short. These apply to both BarCamps and the Geek Dinners. Please review so we can all have a good time. BarCampLA Code of Conduct

 

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.

 

Scotch Tasting

If anyone wants to make it to the scotch tastings, a few quick reminders:

  • The talk is for folk ages 21+. Make sure to have an ID with you.
  • We will have plastic "glasses", but if you have a decent scotch glass, feel free to bring one.
  • Like last BCLA, the talk is going to feature 3 bottles: one peaty, one oaky, and one sherry cask.
  • While the talk is about how to scotch on a budget, 3 bottles of scotch aren't cheap any way you spin it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  • Feel free to let me (Sam: @Janric on twitter) know if you have any questions or comments.

 


 

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 should be prepared to give a demo, run 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 can't be present.

 

Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.
