Since we have a lot of people coming from out of town, a meetup on Friday evening has been suggested. Anyone interested in a few pints should head along to McHughs for a few drinks on Friday at 6pm. Plan to make it an early night, though!S P E A K E R S
The idea behind BarCamp is that everyone that attends also talks. Well under a quarter of the registered attendees have also registered a talk – theres still plenty of time to put something together. Everyone can find something to talk about, it doesnt even have to be long or insanely detailed – have a think about it, fire any ideas up on the wiki, and if you need any advice or questions answered, just fire me an email.T E C H
Yep, we’ll have projectors available in both rooms with standard DVI connections. A few DVI to VGA adapters will be knocking about for those bringing Macs, but it’s still a good idea to pack a spare. Free wireless internet will be provided on the day, and we’ll try to have power strips running along the seating for laptops, etc.R E Q U I R E D
If anyone has any spare wireless routers, please bring them along. The router(s) I have available are likely to go on fire once they get any serious traffic going, spares would be useful!P U B L I C I T Y
If you’re attending or talking, please do all you can to plug yourself and the event on any blogs / social networks you frequency. Tell your friends, spread the word as much as you can! Anyone who has already blogged, I’d love to read what you’ve written, and if you’re planning on live-blogging or twittering like a manic, please let me know!S T R E A M I N G
The conference will be streamed online – full details will go on the wiki as soon as I get ’em.C O N T A C T
I haven’t been able to find email addresses for Paul Dundas, Paul Browne, Philip Orr, Florian Hollerweger, Paddy Donnelly, Peter Armstrong, Conor McCluskey, Daniel McLaughlin, Danielle McDougall or Michael Kitchen. If you know any of these people please forward this email on to them.Any other questions, email Andy – or send him a message on twitter @goodonpaper.
Hope to see you all there.
