BarCamp is an ad-hoc technology 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. The event doesn't cost any money, but there is a price: all attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one.
Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn are welcome and invited to join.
When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers. When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.
Where to stay?
- For pre or post accomodation - check the attendee list for 'couch surfing' options.
- Sounds good to me. What can I do?
- add your topic...
- Start thinking about what you'll talk about it and add it to the Proposed Topics List
Two planning session times for the next week to pull people together and move from there.
Session 1: 2pm Sunday 19 August. Meet north-west corner of Bryant park, inside park. (corner of 42nd and 6th)
Session 2: 6pm Wednesday Wednesday 22 August. Meet north-west corner of Bryant park, inside park. (corner of 42nd and 6th)
Two sessions will hopefully mean that people can make 1of them. I'll make both to co-ordinate initial volunteers. (ie you do not have to come to both, just dates been offered to make it easier.)
