Additional Activities

  • Ross Brown & Deb Bassett are looking to organise a code-a-thon, developing a website for a charity in 24 hours over the course of the weekend.
  • We've been thinking about organising a 'tech amnesty' on the day - encourage people to donate old books, guides, unused tech, gadgets and schwag and enables others to help themselves or donate to a recycler or charity.

 

 

What To Bring

 

  • Laptops
  • All the chargers/cables you'll need
  • Cameras - still or video
  • An idea for a session/presentation/talk
  • Presents for the organisers ;)

 

What We'll Provide

 

  • A venue!
  • Wifi (and a few wired connections)
  • Food & Drink (and maybe some schwag...)
  • Projectors, screens, whiteboards, PA systems and such for presenters
  • A video diary room!

 

"NOTE: if anyone presenting needs anything specific from the network please can you let us know by contacting any of the organisers ASAP so we can ensure the right ports are opened. The default setup is a little limited but with notice we'll be abe to accommodate your needs."

 

Accessibility

 

  • Old Broadcasting House is newly refitted and entirely wheelchair accessible.
  • We'll aim to get some talks simultaneously translated into British Sign Language (fingers crossed!).

 

Proposed/Desired Sessions

 

  • Add proposed topics here. The schedule is decided on the day, by the people there, so this is by no means final! Also feel free to leave ideas for topics you'd like to see.

 

  • Your proposed session - You!

 

 

The Rules of BarCamp

 

* 1st Rule: You do talk about Bar Camp.

* 2nd Rule: You do blog about Bar Camp.

* 3rd Rule: If you want to present, you must write your topic and name in a presentation slot.

* 4th Rule: Only three word intros.

* 5th Rule: As many presentations at a time as facilities allow for.

* 6th Rule: No pre-scheduled presentations, no tourists.

* 7th Rule: Presentations will go on as long as they have to or until they run into another presentation slot.

* 8th Rule: If this is your first time at BarCamp, you HAVE to present. (Ok, you don't really HAVE to, but try to find someone to present with, or at least ask questions and be an interactive participant.)
