BarCampChristchurch

Page history last edited by Pete Nicholls 14 years, 1 month ago

BarCamp Christchurch 2007 has ended. For the upcoming event, see BarCamp Christchurch 2010

 

 

 

 

BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.

 

BarCampChristchurch will be the first BarCamp held in New Zealand, which is a bit unfair to the people who've been organising BarCampWellingtonNZegov for a lot longer, but the gap is there in the schedule for the location and for a bunch of us thinking about it, and we might as well do it earlier rather than later.

 

When

 

Friday 7th Sep.

 

 

Where

 

Canterbury Innovation Incubator

200 Armagh St, Christchurch, New Zealand

Google Map

 

Where to stay?

 

It's only a one day event, but let us know if you're coming from out of town and we'll probably be able to tee something up.

 

Online Group

 

Hang out in the BarCamp Christchurch Online Group, before, during and after the event.

 

A channel for those who are getting there later

Stephen Viles could deliver "Weirdness as a Testing Tool" (as seen at Kiwi Foo and CantyJUG) or talk about running a dev shop in Chch for a New York financial SaaS provider

Philip Lindsay could talk a little about Arduino or my experience with using a personal wiki as a lab notebook but he'd rather hear about everyone else's cool hardware toys and hacking.

John Carter could talk on Ruby, What is Linux, building/using gcc crosscompilers, Design by Contract and State Space, why I'm hopeful/excited about OpenMoko, tell me what interests you.

Eric Woods is interested in PC productivity tips - getting things done faster and easier, so you could all come and share your tips. It think Eric has a couple too.

Eric has also been on an exhaustive search for the ideal PDA / do it all handheld device recently. His conclusion - the best is only NZ$300 and a couple of years old...
