What is a BarCamp? 

From Wikipedia:

 

BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences (or unconferences) - open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants. The first BarCamps focused on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats. The format has also been used for a variety of other topics, including public transit, health care, and political organizing.

Accommodation 

There's a pretty tight-knit group of tech people in Christchurch. If you're looking for a place to say, let us know and we can probably sort something out. 

 

Participants

 

 

Sponsors

We're actively looking for sponsors to help us with wifi and food on the day. If your company might be interested in sponsoring the event, please send an email to one of the planners. 

 

Presentations

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.

Jonathan Hunt - Gov 2.0/Apps for Democracy/Civic Apps/Open NZ

Morris Johns - developing an online timesheet application (Definitely not an infomercial - focus could be technical, market, or business structure, from geek POV).

Russel Werner - Discussing technical details about the Crowd Fusion Platform (Node database, IoC container, MVC framework, etc) and/or A guided walkthrough on creating a blog/database/wiki hybrid with Crowd Fusion. TBD. See features and NYTech Meetup Presentation for more info.
