BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering 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.
Now would be a great time to go check out the The Rules of BarCamp. After doing that go down to the section on Participants and add your name and what you are going to demo / present or help out with. If you are feeling particularly helpful you can add your name to the list of volunteers to help out on the day.
Attendees are encouraged to speak, but it isn't a requirement. If you are interested in coming along, don't forget to add your name to the list below!
