(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.

Organizers
Andre Charland - Over committed but I've been to few of these now and am super stoked we're having one in Vancity!

Zak Greant - How Hard Can It Be (TM)? I am overcommitted as well, but I can't resist. :)
James Sherrett - (contrarian) This is gonna be really hard, a lot of hard work, and I'll have to sit on a hard chair. Looking forward to it!
