[24/11/2007] BarCamp Brisbane 1 - Register your interest!
Keep up to date at the BarCampBrisbane Blog (Coming soon - I have to recreate this - Steve)
A 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 participants. Here is a quote from the wikipedia description:
'BarCamp is an international network of unconferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies and social protocols.'
BarCampBrisbane is a gathering of creative tech brains for learning, sharing and collaboration.

Session Structure
Whatever structure the session needs to be in is the right structure. However, here are some ideas:
- Panel
- Presentation
- Goldfish Bowl
- Soap box - Just stand on a box and spout your wisdom.
- Half-Geeked - Half-Baked, but tech focused.
- Demo new stuff
- Debates
- Anything goes...
In terms of time, slots will be around 5-10 minutes of talking and 10-15 minutes of Q&A. If the group wants more time, it's okay to self-organise and reshuffle the schedule or find another location to continue the discussion.
