I am planning on an Acoustic Music Jam Saturday Night of BarCampLA-6. Bring
your musical instruments and your voices and we can make some music
together. Acoustic instruments only, please, except for an electric piano.
Drummers, please bring a soft snare and brushes so others don't have to play
too loud to be heard.

Accommodations for Out of Town BarCampers

2008-10-09T01:39:31Z

Hey folks,
Since we won't be able to camp at the BCLA-6 venue, but we love our
out of town guests, we've added a section to the wiki (right under
registration) for volunteering accommodations for out of town
barcampers.
If you are able to provide space for people to crash, or are seeking a
place to crash while visiting from out of town, please check out the

I plan to repeat this at BarCampLA-6, though it's going to be highly
accelerated to fit it into a single BarCamp session.

Depending on when the talk is (I've got a conflict for much of the next
Barcamp, I'd love to throw in some tips on wording and organization of the
resume and cover letter, how a clear and easy to read layout can make a
difference, and overall presentation of what you send in. Every person who's
resume I've helped revamp has gotten the job they were after... though it

New Media Interchange Mashup at BarCampLA-6

2008-10-07T17:59:24Z

I love BarCampLA so much that I am encouraging all of the members of New
Media Interchange to join us on Saturday, October 25.
New Media Interchange ([link]) to help non-technical
folks (and some techies) make the leap into new media. I see so much talent
wasted everyday here in Los Angeles and I wanted to do my part in helping

That sounds cool. Maybe something like..
--someone who is the typical sysadmin looking (Charles or whoever)
--someone with a sort of nuts and bots understanding of the job, as well
as various resources
--Doug or someone else like that who can talk about things on a more
general level.

Roger, I think a Barcamp talk on tips and tricks of the job hunt would be
awesome! maybe even have a couple people with you and do a little panel!
with the economy as crazy as it is these days,
and the socal job market being a bit crazy too, I think this is just the
type of talk/discussion that quite a few people would really enjoy.

Sounds like a great session(s).
I'm in to offer info on the "softer" side of careers. i.e. what they want
and need from their career. You can get an idea of my style from

In light of Charles' (and others') job s(h)ituation, I'm wondering if a
session on job searching might be in order.
In the last 2 years or so, I've helped approximately a dozen friends get
fairly decent jobs by helping them with their resumes, connecting them
to headhunters, introducing them to vendors/VARs/VCs/client contacts,

As anyone who has worked with Charles can attest, he is quite
knowledgeable. I often bounce various sys/netadmin related stuff on him
and really appreciate the time he gives in helping me.
For others hit by this last crunch, there is indeed.com and LinkedIn.
Feel free to add me as a connection, and I would be happy to connect you
