A BarCamp is an unconference where people interested in a wide range of technologies come together to teach and learn. Unfamiliar with unconference? Here's the idea in a nutshell. Rather than having scheduled speakers, everyone pitches sessions the morning of the BarCamp. Those sessions are put on a schedule, and lots of little groups form for intense group learning. Yeah, its different from a regular conference - but it works!
The idea of an unconference came together when people realized the best times they were having at conferences were the times between sessions - where people with like interests could meet ad hoc. The goal of BarCamp is to facilitate this type of interaction for an entire day. We supply the food, the space, the wireless, the projectors - you show up to teach and learn.
To make BarCamp successful, we need campers, space , and sponsors. We're working on the latter two - we just need you to sign up and come! Scroll down the wiki to learn more.

The following are ideas for sessions at BarCampRDU. Now that we've got a date, we can actually start claiming sessions to teach. Now, you don't need to claim a session to lead one at BarCampRDU, but if you're looking to promote your session or find people to co-lead your session, you may want to claim yours.
BarCamps aren't trade shows. We will allot two sessions to let local small/startup companies demo their product in a few minutes or less. The purpose is to show off cool ideas, find collaborators or potential hires and wow the audience.
Resume Swap
Let's face it - the job market is heating up again. Folks looking for new opportunities are welcome to bring copies of their resume for employers to peruse. A resume swap works like this:
You bring ten paper copies of your resume
We put them in a folder
If employers like what they see, they take a copy and email you
Pretty brainless. So start polishing up your resume.
Sonic Pleasure
Musicians, bring out your fun or cool or weird instruments. Jam together. Collaborate.
(So, how do you claim sessions?) - Once we get a date, people can start claiming sessions. To do so, they'll just select a session, and put their name next to it. On the morning of BarCamp, they'll place their session on the BarCamp schedule.
