Sessions are the main events at BarCamp. They offer a chance to get a group of people together for an in-depth talk or discussion. Sessions will be scheduled live during BarCamp by writing your name and topic on the event grid. But you can use this page to test the waters for a topic, lure people to your session, or ask for a session on something you want to learn about.

- Several Berkman Center folks would be interested in not just an overview of Ruby but some nittygritty too. Is that part of the planned Ruby session or would that be an extra session? - Erica George
- AbhayKumar: What kind of nittygritty are you looking for, Erica? There are so many places where we can go with this. So far it looks like there will be a Rails talk.
