FUDCon Raleigh 2008 :: 11-13 January 2008 :: Raleigh, NC (exact location TBA)

 

FUDCon? Bar Camp? Read this First!

 

FUDCon stands for Fedora User and Developer Conference.

 

FUDCon Raleigh 2008 will be held as a Bar Camp. A Bar Camp is an "un-conference" where people interested in a wide range of issues come together to teach and learn. Unfamiliar with the un-conference format? Here's the idea in a nutshell. Rather than having scheduled speakers, everyone pitches sessions the morning of the Bar Camp. Those sessions are put on a schedule, and lots of little groups form for intense group learning. Everyone is expected to teach, to talk, to participate. Yeah, it's different from a regular conference - but it works!

 

The idea of an un-conference 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 Bar Camp 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.
