If anyone is interested in learning about Xbox Media Center (the open source software that turns an old school Xbox into a media center and is the basis upon which Boxee is based on) I could present it and talk about how to mod an old school Xbox to run it, cost involved and effort behind that. Otherwise looking forward to some of the other presentations! |

What to bring
- Laptop + power brick
- A love for technology
- Cool stuff to share with new friends
- Jello shots
- Whiskey
- Werewolf cards
- New ideas, new product demos
- Business/Trading Cards
- Your favorite random game pieces
Code of Conduct
Yeah, we don't like rules either, that's why we kept these short. These apply to both BarCamps and the Geek Dinners. Please review so we can all have a good time. BarCampLA Code of Conduct
Questions
- Do I have to come with a presentation? Not necessarily. Barcamp is about participation. And a presentation can be about a lot of things. Demo a new product. Share a methodology. Participate in a panel. Suggest a topic. Make jello shots, host werewolf or bring your Wii and some games.
Scotch Tasting
If anyone wants to make it to the scotch tastings, a few quick reminders:
- The talk is for folk ages 21+. Make sure to have an ID with you.
- We will have plastic "glasses", but if you have a decent scotch glass, feel free to bring one.
- Like last BCLA, the talk is going to feature 3 bottles: one peaty, one oaky, and one sherry cask.
- While the talk is about how to scotch on a budget, 3 bottles of scotch aren't cheap any way you spin it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Help Us Get the Word Out!
Here's the boiler plate:**
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.
All attendees should be prepared to give a demo, run a session, or help with one. All presentations are scheduled the day they happen. Prepare in advance, but come early to get a slot on the wall.
Presenters are responsible for making sure that notes/slides/audio/video of their presentations are published on the web for the benefit of all and those who can't be present.
Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.
