Thanks to everyone who participated the first BarCamp Des Moines. No
one had ever been to a BarCamp before, and not only did we have a
great turnout, but everyone seemed to really enjoy the unconference/
open space participatory format as well as the company of those who
attended. With so many people who can now testify to what our BarCamp
Des Moines is all about, I'm sure the next BarCamp will be an even
bigger hit!

Here are a few pics from the event:

As well as a retrospective/summary of the discussions we had:

A special thanks goes out to all of the sponsors who allowed us to
make this a free event for participants!

Hey Matt, I added a few pics to Flickr this morning, too. But for some
reason, when I search for BarCamp Des Moines or BarCamp DesMoines, I
only get my pictures returned. You might want to add some more tags or
titles to your photos. If people decide to search Flickr to see what
the BarCamp looked like, it would be cool if it returns all the photos
that were taken.

Here are my pics (along with anyone else's who tags theirs with barcamp
desmoines later)
http://www.flickr.com/search/?w=all&q=barcamp+desmoines

Thats the URL I've been using on the local user group lists here in
Omaha, too.

Just a tip, it's helpful to decide on a tag before the event.

For instance, for BarCampMilwaukee2 we've asked people to use the tag
"barcampmilwaukee2" on Flickr, Technorati, and elsewhere. We'll ask
people to not use just "barcampmilwaukee" as we used that for the first
one. Obviously you'll want to tag them with "barcamp" as well, and you
might consider submitting at least some of them to the BarCamp group on
Flickr.

Pete
