What is BarCampDallas? Think of it as a way to get the tech/geek community together in Dallas. Non-Dallas equivalents? Think: Usenix? SXSW Interactive? Burning Man? BarCampPaloAlto? Only one thing is certain: It's up to you to decide. The most important thing you should take away from the event? Relationships with other geeks in Dallas!
When
Saturday, Jan 28th, 2006, with an official start at 10am (get there early to get a good presentation slot!) and an offical end of "as late as it goes".

Topic:
Ideas:
- Job Listing Research Service - get the dirt on the employer, recent news stories, search engine ranking, blog references, legal cases (keyword scan on search results), etc.
- HurricaneHelp -- are your neighbors leaving/boarding up/getting supplies/sipping cocktails & not worrying? Best, open evac routes. Updated weater info aggregated. Where to buy supplies. Official news. Community board -- who needs a ride, who needs medicine/plywood, etc. api in the next peoplefinder. (goal of the app is aggregate community intelligence about the storm and help people make better decisions & get one stop access to online storm resources) I put out a lazyweb request for such an app here.
- Indeed for garage sales. Find items by keyword. Tag sales. Map locations & build itinerary for the day. IM/sms updater for availability. flicksream for actual images of the items when you get there. Build teams of object mavens. (Is this a great deal for this record, set of dishes, etc.?) Port in online info about the items. Backpack it for later.
