Event details

 

  • Probable date: Saturday 1st March 2008

 

Venue

 

To be confirmed, but we've had an offer of somewhere for free, but may need to be flexible on dates and the capacity is lower than perhaps we might like.

 

What is it? Themes?

 

Over the last couple of years, Manchester has seen a thriving technical community sprout up. We've seen BSD and Linux groups grow, GeekUp thrive across the North, Ruby and Microsoft developer communities develop and the local technical economy mature. Whilst some of those communities have talks, it's time we all got together and talked about things that interested us in a BarCamp style.

 

You turn up with a talk, you fight for a place on the board, and then you get on with it. We'll supply a venue, projector equipment, food and drink for the whole day, and a room full of like-minded people.

 

We're still working out the exact format, so don't plan too much for your talk just yet - we'll have timings sorted out soon. Promise.

 

Things we have

 

  • A venue (hopefully)
  • Projectors (we think)
  • Sponsorship for food & drink
  • A desire to make it a great success

 

What we need

 

  • Possibly projectors/PA kit
  • Somebody to help co-ordinate the food/drink
  • Helpers on the day
  • You to turn up
  • Other stuff I haven't thought about
