Missoula BarCamp 2008
What would make Missoula even more cool than to get the best technologists together to plan World Domination? Or maybe World Peace? Or maybe just a chance to learn and network?
Announcing the first BarCamp for Missoula.
Many conference attendees report that the best part is meeting colleagues at the bar after presentations, during coffee breaks. BarCamp brings coffee break networking to the entire event.
BarCamp came as a response to Tim O'Reilly's "FooCamp" which brought the best and brightest computer programmers together to move and shake the industry, but it was invitation only. And it happened only once a year. BarCamp is open, happens many times all over the world. Now it has come to Missoula. It's your chance to shine.
We're inviting all Western Montana computer professionals, scientists, web designers, students, companies, and enterpreneurs who are building products in the computer technology industry to the first Missoula BarCamp.
A BarCamp is an "unconference", a self-organizing event designed and conducted by the attendees. We welcome discussions and presentations around topics such as Web 2.0, Web site design, Ruby, Linux, and making Missoula a "tech mecca".
The event will be facilitated using "Open Space Technology" by Harold Shinsato. Harold has been a computer professional since he graduated with a Computer Science degree from MIT in 1984. He is also a trained facilitator and lead an Open Space event for SAP in San Jose in 2007.
Location: 1121 E. Broadway, Missoula, MT
Date: April 26, 2008
Luncheon: Noon
Sessions: 1pm - 5pm
Early registration is highly recommended to ensure adequate facilities and supplies. Due to donations we are able to offer this event below cost, $5 for early registrations, and $10 after April 18.
Missoula BarCamp is dedicated to bringing bright people in the Missoula area together to develop a base of expertise and excellence in our community in all areas, but especially technology, the arts, and our local non-profit sector.
