BarCampWaterloo update: planning
Posted by Jesse Rodgers on September 08, 2006 at 03:06 PM
Just about 3 weeks until BarCampWaterloo and it is about time to do a little more planning. First off we have a logo thanks to Mitch, the tractor is a nice touch, I have added the button to my site so people can check it out. We already have a location (Tathum Centure thanks CECS) and a sponsor for refreshments (thanks Applied Vision), now we need some more people to sign up!
If you are wondering what the heck a BarCamp is, you are best checking the web site. After going to BarCampToronto I have my own ideas but I get the feeling everyone is slightly different. Basically it is an attendee driven event with presentations and socializing. The theme is Internet technology but you can present on just about anything remotely related. The plan for the Waterloo version is to keep it short (2-7pm for presentations and such) and hopefully grow the idea on campus and for the wider Waterloo community.
Presentations can be about the latest web application your created, working with other media, insights from your co-op experience at a high tech company, your small business, etc.
This will be my last call for anyone who is interested in helping with organization. I want to do a little walk through of the space in the Tathum Centre next week and get a few things organized. If I have help great. Also if anyone else would like to sponsor this please let me know.
