BarCamp hits Rochester again!

  • We'll provide space, electricity, a wireless network, and a wiki. You bring your ideas, enthusiasms, and projects. We all get to know each other better, and hopefully come up with some cool ideas about how to change the world.
  • The tag is barcamprochester2

 

When?

  • A weekend day (or days) in mid-May 2007.

 

Where?

  • Classrooms with wifi, outlets, and white boards in Golisano at RIT
  • We have 6ish classrooms reserved on May 11 for a student creativity competition - it may be possible to get these reserved Saturday? -Jason

 

Who

This is a multi-disciplinary event... meaning that we want designers, developers, marketers, engineers, artists, thinkers and reality-checkers... no more bubbles -- we want cross-polination! If you want in, like technology, to build things or asking good questions, you should come!
