This BarCamp is associated with (and directly precedes) Berlin Buzzwords. It will be an ad-hoc gathering to share and learn, covering many of the same themes as the main conference.
For more details, including our themes, please see below! If you'd like to come along, please sign up in the Participants section further down.
Event details
Date: Sunday 6th June
When: 5.30pm - 9pm (registration from 5pm)
Where: NewThinking Store - Tucholskystr. 48, 10117 Berlin
Themes
In keeping with the main Berlin Buzzwords conference, we're going to be focusing on similar themes!
The overriding theme of the evening is NoSQL. We're especially keen for people to discuss, and give talks on:
- Using NoSQL in new areas
- NoSQL comparisons (eg which is the best project for different content problems?)
- Deploying NoSQL - case studies and war stories
However, being a BarCamp, the exact schedule won't be decided until the day, based on who comes, and what everyone wants to hear about and talk on!
Sponsors
- Berlin Buzzwords - our sister event - 2 day conference on Monday 7th and Tuesday 8th June on Scaling, Storing and Searching
- NewThinking Store - kindly providing the venue
We're still looking for sponsors for drinks and nibbles. Please get in touch if you can help!
Schedule
Everything is taking place on the evening of Sunday 6th June
- 5pm - Doors open, registration begins
- 5pm - The bar at the venue opens!
- 5.30pm - Welcome, and Introduction to BarCamps session
- 5.45pm - Session scheduling - you decide what you want to hear about!
- 6pm - First sessions begin
- 8.45pm - Sessions end
- 9pm - Dinner! We've got a table booked nearby for everyone who wants to come
We have one large room, a small room, and a breakout space available to us. We'll run one main track, with a 2nd one if there's the demand. Most sessions will be 15 or 30 minutes, so we should be able to get through a lot of different things on the night!
There's a bar at the venue, so you can enjoy a drink or two during the talks (You're not allowed to bring your own drinks though, sorry). After the BarCamp, many of us will continue the discussions in a nearby restaurant. More details on that to follow!
Remember - a barcamp is driven by the people who attend. The schedule will be sorted on the night, based on what people would like to discuss, and who's willing to talk. If there's something you really want to talk about, or want to hear discussed, please mention it in the signup section below. Otherwise, turn up, and vote for your favourite talks during the scheduling section!
Organisers
- Nick Burch (Alfresco / ASF)
