What is Barcamp?
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 are encouraged to give a demo, a session, a presentation, or help with one. All attendees are expected to be participants. 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.

- What the hell is Arduino? Duane Storey & John Biehler will give an overview of this open source hardware prototyping platform and share their works-in-progress. We'll have some demos and a bunch of arduinos on hand
- Playing with Future Television, What I learned Messing Around with Plex 0.9. David Drucker will talk about and demo the free software, Plex, that will turn the Macs (and coming in 2011, LG Blu Ray Disc Players) on your home network into a Media Cloud that you can stream to a computer connected to your TV, a Macbook,iMac, iPad or iPhone, complete with Internet Metadata and plugins for Internet Video and Audio.
- Mobile health platforms in the developing world, and how they are eclipsing us - Aaron Gladders - we've been hired to do a bunch of work on MOTECH, mobile technologies for community health workers, and despite all our smart-phonedness, on the health side much more interesting things are happening around the world. Either that or else a #movember photo session. Important stuff.
Remote Topics
We hope this year to replicate out remote sessions that were very successful last year. We'd like to once again be able to solicit session speakers from outside of Vancouver to submit sessions they'd like to moderate from a remote location. As soon as we confirm our video-conferencing resources, we will put up a new Remote Sessions page for sign up and details.
