Welcome!

This year's BarCamp anniversary will take place full circle back in the same place it started: Socialtext's offices... and spilling out into the streets! Yep. We will be working with Socialtext to get this puppy off the ground with the goal of having a multi-office party starting at Socialtext's offices... and looping in nearby neighbors like IDEO, Edgeio and so on.

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.
