The Missoula BarCamp on April 26 went well according to the attendees, who have asked for a repeat sooner than the original plan for spring of 2009.  The plan is approximately six months from now, sometime in October probably, we'll hold the second Missoula BarCamp and invite more non-profits and content producers (a.k.a. artists, designers, and writers).

Keep your eyes open to this site for news.  Sessions from the BarCamp are being posted to the  wiki, please visit there to learn more about what transpired at the first Missoula BarCamp and if you were there, please add some content.

In the meantime, there are technology peer groups to meet with in town.

Missoula Linux Users Group (Msla-LUG)

More about BarCamp and "Open Space"

We're inviting all Western Montana computer professionals, scientists, web designers, students, companies, and entrepreneurs who are involved in the computer technology industry to the first Missoula BarCamp.

Many conference attendees report that the best part is meeting colleagues during the breaks. A BarCamp brings a high level of interactivity and engaged exchange to the entire event. This isn't a place to sit and have stuff crammed into your head. A BarCamp is a self organizing conference built with leading edge social technology which is simple but evolutionary. Bring your best ideas and expect to get the same from the other attendees.

BarCamp came as a response to Tim O'Reilly's "FooCamp" which brought the best and brightest computer programmers and authers together to move and shake the industry, but it was by invitation only. And it happened only once a year. BarCamp is open, happens many times all over the world. Now it has come to Missoula.

The event will be facilitated using "Open Space Technology" by Harold Shinsato. Harold has been a computer professional since he graduated with a Computer Science degree from MIT in 1984. He is also a trained facilitator and lead an Open Space event for SAP in San Jose in 2007.

Early registration is highly recommended to ensure adequate facilities and supplies. Due to donations we are able to offer this event below cost, $5 for early registrations, and $10 after April 23.
