The hugely popular "un-conference" is back and being held in leafy Richmond right by the Thames - hopefully we'll have some great weather!
Home to eBay, PayPal, Shopping.com and GumTree (Skype is in town) the internet marketing and web dev team at eBay will be opening up their offices for a weekend of talks, networking and possibly the odd drink or two.
(You can find out more about the BarCamp movement and the rules and principles of being an attendee on the RulesOfBarCamp page. Please make sure you understand what a BarCamp is before you sign up)

MOO is a printing company where every one is different. We help you print lots of different images in one pack and create unique, personal & products, using images you've uploaded directly, or designs from our designer galleries.
Our API allows anyone with some programming skills the ability to write programs that can specify all the data required to make a MOO product (including fully variable images AND text). It can then redirect a user to the checkout process for that product. So now you can build MOO applications and mashups that are personal to your website!

The idea of a custom-mixing muesli online might sound wacky... but it works. In 2005, three university students came up with Mymuesli (http://www.mymuesli.co.uk) where people can mix their own organic muesli online, with a choice of 75 different ingredients. This makes it possible to create 566 quadrillion individual muesli mixes, and customers can even name their own blend.
Irrespective of whether the customer is a chocolate addict, raisin hater or athlete, the incredible variety offered by Mymuesli makes it easy to invent an all-time favourite mix that makes breakfast time a real treat. One of Mymuesli’s great assets is the multitude of eccentric and exotic ingredients - sourced from over 20 countries - such as carrots, Tibetan Goji-Berries, cedar nuts and even jelly babies. The company is constantly on the lookout for crazy and tasty new muesli ingredients.
