(As stolen from BarCampNYC and BarCampLosAngeles, as copied from BarCampSanDiego) BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference 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 attendees.
All attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one. All presentions are scheduled the day they happen. Prepare in advance, but come early to get a slot on the wall.
Presenters are responsible for making sure that notes/slides/audio/video of their presentations are published on the web for the benefit of all and those who can’t be present.
Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.
NO SPECTATORS, ONLY PARTICIPANTS
When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers. When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.

Why
To learn, meet people who share different interests, contribute, and push yourself and your thinking. Besides, Chris and I will be in town, so why not have a BarCamp?!
When

Where

Event Schedule
Tara has this silly idea that she wants to make this very conversational, more revolutionary...not limiting it to that, but, would love to hear from you about how you want to change the world. What has pissed you off? What do you want to change and how do you see it changing? Through technology? Through practice? Through organizing? Of course, it's still waaaay open for technology discussions and demos.
The Toronto Drupal Group (DUG) is organising a Drupal camp DrupalCampToronto on May 12th (immediately before BarCampTdot).
