"I've been at BarCamp Austin for the last few hours (it's 6pm now) and all I can say is that it kicks azz" - Doc Searls
"The contrast between the two events was striking. SXSWi is impersonal, controlling, somewhat sterile by comparison with the energy of BarCamp. I can't help thinking that Unconference is the model more and more of us will adopt for the transfer of knowledge." - Simon Phipps
"Hi, I'm Mark Canter. You know flash? I fucking invented that, bitch."
"They were worried about the use of the word un-conference? How do you get proprietary about ad-hoc un-conferences?" - ChristopherStJohn (I think that's who said it...)
Regarding leaving BarCamp unstructured: "Give geeks a solution, and we'll find a problem. Give us a problem, and we'll find a solution" - (Whurley and I said the last part in unison, but I decided not to call "Jinx," seeing as he put this whole thing together.) - EricSkiff
