Barcamp Jacksonville!
Barcamp Jacksonville (FL) was created to facilitate social and business networking among developers, designers, "idea guys" and to help investors and leaders meet up and find team members and create startups. Also, there will be interactive sessions, demos, and more to showcase talent and initiatives. The purpose of the Jacksonville location is to get people "excited" about technology in the North East Florida area, and to find out where web designers/developers are in Jacksonville and the First Coast. This does not mean we're not letting people outside Jacksonville come. Anyone is welcome of course.'Stay tuned.

News
- May 4, 2006: Thanks Chris for the awesome logo!
- May 3, 2006: I dig The Jacksonville Library. I really do. So BarcampJacksonville is going down on June 17th 2006 at the Jacksonville Public Library. This library rocks. It's about 5 months old, and there are 4 stories. I have counted 6 plasma displays in the library so far, I know there are more. I'll take some pictures of some of the cool sections and put the up here. We have reserved a 50' by 50' section for this barcamp, and we have a projector, a ton of tables and chairs etc. etc. We are contacting BAWLS, to see if they will sponsor us some drinks. We are setting the limit to 75 people for right now. We are able to expand from there, but we think that is a good limit. We are extremely lucky, because on June 30th, they are making you pay for these events, which would be about 5-600 dollars.
Stay tuned for more details.
- April 29, 2006: We like the main library in Jacksonville. After we go on a quick tour, we think we will apply to get space there.
- April 27, 2006: BarCamp Jacksonville announced.

Where
We are putting the event here:
Jacksonville Main Library
303 N. Laura Street
Jacksonville, FL 32202
It's a beautiful and crazy library, there are plasma displays in the library, and a teen section with crazy seats, etc. I'll take some pictures later. We have a wonderful 50'x100' multi-purpose room (or something similar to that), with projectors and seats.
It's beauty is summed up here, at it's grand opening in November:
When
The Event is on June 17th 2006, on a saturday, from 10am to 6pm. This isn't exactly the day we would like, because the next day is fathers day. This eliminates some out of area people, and we apologize for that, but they are starting to charge people starting on the 30th, and the week after has a Mac User Group (they kind of fight each other) and the week before is booked.
