BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering 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.

Event details
When
- I'm thinking 28+29th July or any of the last three weekends in August...this gives us plenty of time to promote :)
- End of August seems pretty good, plenty of time to plan and its past most of the music festivals that a lot of campers will be going to (not me though :( ) - Dom
Where
- Potentially the Round Foundry - short walk from plenty of hotels, restaurants, parking and the train station...could use a couple meeting rooms and the atrium.
