BarCampOhio & LibraryCampOhio
Monday, August 11, 2008 @ 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Two great camps! Two great communities of technologists! One great event!
Where? Dublin, Ohio (Columbus metro area)
At The Conference Center at OCLC. Here's a Google map location: http://bcOHmap.notlong.com.
We're hoping to provide lunch and goodies, but that will mean a fee of about $25.00 per registrant.
Registration info coming soon! Save the date: Monday, August 11, 2008
_____ Back Ground Info _____
We, Bob and Peter, got together to think about the who's and the how's involved in getting BarCampOhio off the ground. Given our backgrounds and connections an idea occurred to us: a dual-track unconference bringing together business technologists and interested parties and library technologists and their interested parties. Why!?
Library technologists and staff have:
- Strong roots in all of our communities
- A couple decades of experience dealing with massive amounts of data
- Great sensitivity to privacy and identity management on a limited scale
Business technologists have:
- Around 8 or more years of experience dealing with Web-scale applications and problems
- Have a get-it-done-NOW need
- Typically have more marketing experience and/or resources
Where is this going to take place? Columbus Metro area
A site is in the works. We will finalize the location in the next week or two
When is it? Mid August 2008 (give or take a bit depending on finalizing the location)
Who's involved so far? Bob Robertson-Boyd and Peter Murray and YOU!

BarCampOhioPlanning page is up and has content. Please weigh in!
Let's get them flowing. Use strikeout rather than erasing please!
I propose to make this a PowerPoint-free zone. I'd love to get someone to donate some portable whiteboards, giant sticky notes or something similar. I'll take stick figures over transitions any day!
I think powerpoint is ok, but should be limited to 5-15min type demos or talks. If it enables people to express themselves don't take that way. Just change it up a little on them. Ideally it would be great to have white boards and stickies everywhere, but heck we got what 3 people here so far?! heh.. -dan
Demos and or Problems to be Solved:
This doesn't need to be a hack-a-thon, but so what if it becomes one?
