After the HUGE success of BarCampCapeTown, we decided that we need one on the other side of South Africa. So Durban's up next... well, that was the idea, but BarCampJohannesburg beat us to it :-)

A BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference 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. The first BarCamp was held in Palo Alto, California, from August 19-21, 2005. The concept has since spread from Amsterdam to Mumbai to Vienna. The first South African BarCamp was held in Cape Town during 15-16 July 2006. Its success prompted participants from Durban to start planning a local event, scheduled for November 2006.
A BarCamp is an informal, loosely structured conference (un-conference). Traditionally BarCamps are organised in a short time, with schedules being finalised on the day. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join. There is no attendance fee, but the Rules of BarCamp encourage everyone to participate in some way. BarCamps bring together experts and newbies alike, business people and students. wino kredyt mieszkaniowy sprzedam mieszkanie sprzedam bilet
18 and 19 november. It's the weekend after the matric exams. We'll start 10h00.
Port Natal have offered us their hall. This school has 512k DSL and decent iBurst signal, so bandwidth will not be a problem.
Mahala -- Free. There's no cost but a catch; you need to contribute something, ie. a speech or help with something.

Anything else we would like?

People could probably arrange block flight tickets and save some cash on them. Please note: A bus trip from Cape Town is not a wise choice if you do it on the cheapest liner, as it takes a very uncomfortable 24 hours. (This public service announcement brought to you by Ralph.)
**I have removed my number as I am constantly getting calls from people wanting lifts around the country and it's been nearly a year.
Karl Schurmann from The Schurtek Group will be in Johannesburg from the 10th to the 17th. Anyone needing a lift to Durban from Johannesburg or anywhere along the route... please phone Karl on 072 x xxx xxx to make arrangements.... he's not asking for any major money... maybe R100-R200 towards petrol and Tolls, and some good converstation... unfortunately he can't take you back, but at least your trip one way is cheaper and more comfortable than the bus... and a bang load cheaper than flying... Mango is advertising dirt cheap flights... the advertised prices only apply to the first 5 or 10 seats. Try it out and see... Fly Mango
I will be seeing if the school's hostel would accommodate you, otherwise we could just use sleeping bags and sleep in the hall.
Please if you talk about us, use the Tag, BarCampDurban
1st Rule of Bar Camp: You do talk about BarCamp.

We invite your participation in BarCampDurban - a local version of the
world-wide phenomenon. A BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference 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.
The first BarCamp was held in Palo Alto, California, from August 19-21,
2005. The concept has since spread from Amsterdam to Mumbai to Vienna.
The first South African BarCamp was held in Cape Town during 15-16 July
2006. Its success prompted participants from Durban to start planning a
local event, scheduled for November 2006.
A Bar Camp is an informal, loosely structured conference
(un-conference). Traditionally BarCamps are organised in a short time,
with schedules being finalised on the day. Anyone with something to
contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.
There is no attendance fee, but the Rules of BarCamp encourage everyone
to participate in some way. BarCamps bring together experts and newbies
alike, business people and students.
Contribution in the form of sponsorship is very important to the BarCamp
format. Sponsors for the venue itself, internet access, presentation
equipment, and snacks are usually required. Sponsors usually get
exposure through the BarCamp website (see BarCampCapeTown for an
example), as well as through other channels such as blogs. One of the
BarCamp maxims read:
When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers.
When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.
We hope you will consider participating in BarCampDurban. For more
