BarCamp RDU

August 2, 2008 - Red Hat Offices, Raleigh, NC.

BarCampRDU 2006 & 2007 was held in the month of August each year. Over 200 people came by for all or part of the event. Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, sponsor and donors who made our second annual RDU-area BarCamp a great success.

What's a Bar Camp? Read this First!

A Bar Camp is an unconference where people interested in a wide range of technologies come together to teach and learn. Unfamiliar with the un-conference format? Here's the idea in a nutshell. Rather than having scheduled speakers, everyone pitches sessions the morning of the BarCamp. Those sessions are put on a schedule, and lots of little groups form for intense group learning. Everyone is expected to teach, to talk, to participate. Yeah, its different from a regular conference - but it works!

The idea of an unconference came together when people realized the best times they were having at conferences were the times between sessions - where people with like interests could meet ad hoc. The goal of BarCamp is to facilitate this type of interaction for an entire day. We supply the food, the space, the wireless, the projectors - you show up to teach and learn.
