Who's ready for Bar Camp Dallas III?!

 

The Details

When: 3rd Weekend in January (2007) - Jan 20th - 21st

 

 

Where: Let's grab the 4th floor at the Microsoft Las Colinas Campus.

 

Question: Are people going to want to spend the night at the MS Office, or is there a camp ground/hotel near by that we should point people to?

Note: My only concern about having this at the Microsoft Campus is that I want this to be a Bar Camp, and not a Microsoft Bar Camp... your thoughts?

 

-My Thoughts...not a concern at all. BarCamp is run by the participants...and it will be what it will be ;)

 

  • BarCampNYC2 was hosted by Microsoft, and it wasn't an issue. Peter Laudati, the NYC area MS Developer Evangelist, assured us it would be hands off, and it was. -cks
  • BarCampSanFrancisco was the same way... and the Microsoft building was a nice place to meet too.

 

- Will MS cooperate with making their wireless network available to users of other operating systems. I went to BarCamp 1 in Dallas and having wireless access seemed very important.

 

- The only requirement for wireless guest access: pre-register with your name, company, email address (This is only used to identify your log in on the web based guest access point - when you first try to access the wireless there is a web based log in screen); I've never tried it with a non-MS OS, if someone would like to come down and give it a try, I can coordinate that - Caleb

 

- I'm concerned about the limitations on wireless access. Is there any way to set up an alternate mechanism "day of"? Firewall restrictions at the Microsoft campus in NYC put a real damper on some of the activities (like live streaming video of the event), and I think requiring signups in advance would mean many attendees would have no access at all. I'm willing to donate my wireless router for a day if there's a way to get a clean internet connection - ChristopherStJohn

 

Topics - What would everyone like to see discussed?

  • I'd like to see a discussion on creating CSS friendly web pages from different back end systems. (PHP, .NET, ColdFusion)
  • GTD for the developer (or any other methodology for managing the madness and "getting it done")
  • Developing (and testing) in a virtual environment
  • State of Web 2.0 in Texas
  • Startup Showcase/Demo's
  • Add your topic
