BarCampMadison2 July 26th-27th at Extra Bold Portfolio School

[Abraham Williams]

Intro:
BarCamp is an un-conference; An open format event where programmers, designers and business owners can network and learn. A BarCamp conference is unlike any other technology conference. Rather than being planned by a committee in advance, each community works together to create its own event. A BarCamp generally has an underlying theme, but the individual topics and sessions are organized shortly before or even at the event. This enables BarCamp to be much more than targeted to the needs of the Madison community.

Information:
Visit the BarCampMadison2 Website to find out more information about the conference. Please make sure to register so we know how many people to expect.

There have already been many good sessions proposed such as: Version Control Discussion, Windows Mobile Hacking, Learn Python With Me, Filesystem embedded in a PDF and many more. We would love to have you lead a session as well so feel free to add one or several.

As always feel free to jump on the discussion list and lend a helping hand.
