The plan is under way, and the aim is to make it happen on September 2 and 3, 2006. We're aiming for a place near the beach (or with proper pool access for everyone) to take advantage of the sunny mid-summer weather. If you've never been to Portugal, get ready for some California-like weather (which is great, we know). Anyway, make sure you save a couple of days off your summer and come join us.
General Information
Date: 2-3 September
Location: Coimbra, Portugal (Specific venue TBA)

Getting involved
If you don't know what you can do to help:

Organization
Webreakstuff (which is, contrarily to what many people think, a portuguese company) is organizing the event, and looking for sponsors and helpers to curate the event. If you've never been to a BarCamp (or, heck, never heard of it before), see the Rules of BarCamp and get in touch with us by dropping an email at barcamp@webreakstuff.com - we'll get back to you in a snap (no, really).
