What is BarCamp

 

(As stolen from BarCampNYC, as copied from...) 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 must give a demo, a session, or help with one. All presentions 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.

 

NO SPECTATORS, ONLY PARTICIPANTS

 

When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers. When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.

Why

 

To learn, meet people who share different interests, contribute, and push yourself and your thinking.

 

When

 

The evening of *Saturday, March 4th, 2006*, and 10a-5p or so on *Sunday, March 5th, 2006*.

 

There will likely be dinner, drinks, and possibly demos on the 4th, and a full day of learning and sharing on the 5th.

 

It will be a good warm-up for ETech, just south of LA in San Diego on March 6-9 (take note SF people!), and SXSW Interactive in Austin on March 10-14.
