Building on the great success of last year's BarCampApacheOxford, OSS
Watch and Torchbox are again running the popular BarCampOxford
unconference at the Oxford University Club on the 26 June. Expect many
great conversations, including topics such as open source, open
development, open innovation and web 2.0 mashups
Full details are on the BarcampOxford wiki page [1]
If you're not sure what a BarCamp is, fear not. It's a friendly,
flexible and informal event where everyone who attends has a say in
what happens on the day. The idea is to come with a topic you'd like
to present, discuss or even hack-on. We figure out exactly what
happens in the morning, and then get on with it.
We already have people who like to get together on topics as diverse
as; open source, cloud computing, semantic web, mobile tech, agile
development, UIX and accessibility, Python, Dojo and Javascript. If
something else takes your fancy, then just a look at the wiki [1] and
add your interests in the attendees list or come up with an idea on
the day.
We'll have food and drink to keep you energised. This year the TV goes
on and club bar opens at 3 for those who just can't bear to miss the
World Cup football. Those who want to carry on a great conversation or
hack session can do so in the upstairs spaces.
So why not join us - just add you details to the wiki page [1] or email us [2]
This year the Barcamp follows on from the TransferSummit [3] open
innovation conference being held at Keble College, and a number of
attendees will stay on for the Barcamp. They will no doubt have a lot
to talk about after the Summit which promises to be exceptional given
the programme [4]. Note: there are still spaces at the Summit, you can
register on the website [3].
