OOPSLA, WikiSym2009 and TikiFest, October 21->29 in Orlando: Any barcamps around this period?

[Marc Laporte]

Hi!

I am involved in the organization of two events in Orlando in October
2009

WikiSym is the International Symposium on Wikis and Open
Collaboration, the symposium (conference) and community of wiki and
open collaboration researchers and practitioners world-wide. WikiSym
2009 will take place in Orlando, Florida, Oct 25-27,
http://www.wikisym.org/ws2009/

TikiFestOrlando, October 21st to 24th, 2009
This is a pre-event to WikiSym for people interested in TikiWiki CMS/
Groupware, a full-featured, open source, multilingual, all-in-one Wiki
+CMS+Groupware written in PHP.
http://tikiwiki.org/TikiFestOrlando

There is also OOPSLA (which I am not involved with) October
25-26-27-28-29
"the original conference devoted to object-oriented programming, has
grown in scope to encompass programming, practices and paradigms
addressing current software challenges, such as programmer
productivity, security & reliability, ultra-large scale systems and
evolving hardware platforms."
http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2009/

On upcoming.com, I also saw: Gartner Symposium/ITxpo Orlando 2009
18-22 October
http://www.gartner.com/it/sym/2009/sym19/sym19.jsp

As we are organizing this, I would love to coordinate with a barcamp
or minibarcamp.

Anything comes to mind?

Best regards,

M ;-)

Hey Marc,

Wow, all these great tech events going on at the same time, and
all at the Contemporary Resort (which is also really cool).

It would be fun to throw together a MiniBarCamp around that time.
Since all these events are at the same location, is one of the events
willing to give us some free space for such an event?

Hi Gregg!

Great idea!!

So I guess 1-day?
How many people could we expect?
Do you have a template of a previous event that I could point to?

Thanks!

M ;-)
