What is BarCamp?

 

BarCamp is a technology-focused, ad-hoc gathering of passionate folks who want to share, interact and spread the love around what they spend their days and nights toiling away on.

 

It is an informal gathering of people from technical and business backgrounds, where information and experiences are exchanged. The event is geared towards sharing knowledge and learning from others and there is a policy of encouraging active participation in all discussions. This BarCamp extends from other successful Irish "unconferences", most recently the BarCampDublin and BarCampBelfast events.

 

How much does it cost?

 

BarCamp is free. However, if you plan to attend BarCamp you are strongly encouraged to sign up so that we can gauge how many will attend.

 

How do I sign up?

 

Please add your name to the list on this page, or send an email to barcampgalway@gmail.com

 

You can also let us know what topics you are interested in by editing this page.

 

When and where is it on?

 

Ireland's next BarCamp will take place in Galway on Saturday, 22nd September 2007, in the Digital Enterprise Research Institute, NUI Galway near the city. wino kredyt mieszkaniowy sprzedam mieszkanie sprzedam bilet

 

Registration starts at 9:15 AM and the first talk kicks off at 10:00 AM.

For future BarCamp events in Ireland please go here for discussion.

 

A wireless connection will be available to BarCamp attendees for accessing the Internet.

 

How do I stay up to date with news about the event?

 

We have set up a blog at barcampgalway.wordpress.com so that you can subscribe to its RSS feed to get all the latest news. You can also follow the planning and get live updates on the day from the barcampireland Jaiku channel: http://jaiku.com/channel/barcampireland.

 

How do I get there?

 

A map is available. There are also directions here.

 

What ideas folks want to hear about or talk about

 

BarCamp is a conference with a difference. At BarCamp, anyone can present. In fact, if this is your first time at BarCamp, presenting is actively encouraged. Talks will typically be 15-20 minutes followed by 15 minutes Q&A / discussion but talks can be as short or as long as you like. You can use PowerPoint slides, or forego slides altogether. Talks can be technical or non-technical.

 

The BarCamp ethos is about sharing information. There is no overriding theme to the conference. If you would like to talk at BarCamp you can either sign-up beforehand or sign-up on the day.

 

There will be a whiteboard and post-its. If you want to sign-up on the day, just post the title of your talk on an available time-slot on the whiteboard.

About

 

The Galway event logo is an amalgam of both the BarCamp flame and the Claddagh ring from Galway. The hands in the Claddagh ring symbolise friendship; the heart love; and the crown loyalty. The Claddagh was a small fishing village, now within the city of Galway.
