  • When: Saturday 21st November 2009
  • Where: ATP Innovation Centre, Australian Technology Park, Redfern

BarCamp Sydney #5 - The Recession Edition

 

Registration for BarCampSydney is now open - please Register and Sponsor BarCamp at the BarCampSydney5 page.

 

BarCamp Sydney is on again. This is our 5th BarCamp Sydney and as we are in the midst of the GFC and a recession we’ve decided that this BarCamp is the Recession Edition or “the BarCamp we had to have” (to paraphrase Keating from 1990). 

In keeping with the Recession theme of BarCamp there are a few changes to this year’s BarCamp. Firstly a new venue, whilst we loved UNSW it was quite expensive. Thankfully the Australian Technology Park (ATP) Innovations Centre is giving us access to the space for free! Yay! 

Secondly, we need to spread the load of the cost of running BarCamp across more people so we are asking for individual sponsorship as well as our traditional corporate sponsorship. So what do you get for your individual sponsorship? Nothing really, just the warm fuzzy feeling that you get from helping run this fantastic community event. Hopefully there will still be T-Shirts but that will depend on how much money we raise in sponsorship. However, if you are a corporate and would like to sponsor the event please contact us ASAP. 

We have a new idea for a few of the sessions - the Think Tank room. The Think Tank room is a small room with no projector and no tech - just enough room for a small group of people discussing ideas. And what better ideas to discuss than ideas about the future. As a result of the recent FutureSummit attended by a few of the local twitterati, @liubinskas has suggested we keep the ideas coming with a FutureCamp! There will be a real FutureCamp later in the year but we can start the future discussion right here at BarCamp Sydney. 

There will be more details forthcoming about the venue, the logistics and how you can register and sponsor, but for right now please block out Saturday June 27 for BarCamp Sydney and put your thinking hats on to present a ripper of a session.

Also, in addition to the FutureCamp conversations taking place, @chieftech has also suggested that we use this BarCamp Sydney as an opportunity for a meet up to talk about Government 2.0 (what @chieftech is calling the #bcs5gov20 stream). This builds on the momentum of the Government 2.0 BarCamp-style PublicSphere http://www.katelundy.com.au/2009/05/29/public-sphere-2- open-government-policy-and-practice/ taking place in Canberra on the 22nd and a planned screening of the Us Now documentary around this time.

What is a BarCamp?

 

A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering 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 participants. Here is a quote from the wikipedia description:

 

'BarCamp is an international network of unconferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies and social protocols.'

 

BarCampSydney is a gathering of creative tech brains for learning, sharing and collaboration.

 

For the Sydney BarCamp we're making topics open to those beyond technology to include entertainment, art, marketing, other technologies and content such as podcasts and so on. See other camps such as ArtCamp, MarCamp and BlogCamp.

Session Structure

Whatever structure the session needs to be in is the right structure. However, here are some ideas:

  • Panel
  • Presentation
  • Goldfish Bowl
  • Soap box - Just stand on a box and spout your wisdom.
  • Half-Geeked - Half-Baked, but tech focused.
  • Demo new stuff
  • Debates
  • Anything goes...

 

In terms of time, slots will be around 5-10 minutes of talking and 10-15 minutes of Q&A. If the group wants more time, it's okay to self-organise and reshuffle the schedule or find another location to continue the discussion.
