12 days until BarCamp Bristol
Because not everyone has time to read mailing lists or check Upcoming, and one of the rules of BarCamp is that you do blog about BarCamp, here we go.
BarCamp Bristol (Bristol’s first) will be taking place on October 12th-13th 2007 at Sift’s offices in Victoria St., Bristol.
More information is available at BarCamp, Upcoming and you can sign up, too.
What’s all this BarCamp stuff about, anyway?
BarCamp is an unconference, which means that there is no distinction between attendees and speakers. This is because everybody who attends has to give a talk or lead a discussion; there are no “tourists”.
It’s a chance to tell other people about the one thing that you know heaps about but others perhaps don’t, or lead a discussion about the best way to solve a particular problem. What it isn’t is a Hackday-style geekfest; we want people to feel comfortable attending no matter what their level of technical knowledge.
We have got sponsorship for the event from various companies, so the event is basically free to attend. We would like people who sign up to put £5 down so that their money’s where their mouth is, so to speak ;)
Come on then - what are you waiting for? Sign up now!
