Continuing the Bar Camp tradition, we're embarking on a slightly more ambitious project for spring 2006...

 

Announcing WineCamp!

 

An event bar none! (Ha!)

 

 

The details

 

Who: How about this: we're not going to host /just/ the regular Bar Camp crowd -- no, we're also going to invite a bunch of interested and proactive *non-profits* to mix it up in order to explore how the new wave of social apps that are all so near and dear to us can help bring about an evolution in the tools that non-profits use. And ideally, many of these will be or become open source...!

 

We're already working with the preeminent tech provider in the non-profit world, CompuMentor, to reach out and connect with folks ready for something new. It's time to meet up directly and make the connection between Bar Camp, open source and the non-profit community.

 

What: Bar Camp goes upscale! Wine, wifi, good food and a bon fire. What more can you ask for?

 

...Well, there is one more thing. The WineCampFundraiser! Imagine buying excellent wine for yourself and having part of the proceeds being put towards a program that encourages underprivileged students to get into open source. Sound good? Details (and how to get involved) coming soon!

 

Where: This event will take place at the Ferriere vineyard in the Sierra foothills... Old Airola Road, Coyote Ridge Peninsula, between Murphy's and Columbia in Calaveras County.

 

 

When: Late Spring, May 26-28 2006, from Friday to Sunday. Designed to preceed the NetSquared Gala event.

 

What we need

 

  • Presenters!
  • Wifi (for Day 2)!
  • Food!
  • Fire wood!
  • Three circus tents! (?)
  • A Generator!
  • Tents!
  • Organizing talent!
  • Website design!
  • A store to process wine sales/donations (?)!
  • And tons more that I can't think of right now...!

Attendees

 

We might have to limit attendence to roughly 100... so we'll watch this list grow and if we near that number, we'll have to start figuring out a fair mechanism to make sure we get a good mix of nonprofits and traditional BarCampers!

 

  • Want to attend? Go add yourself to the WineCampers list!
