BarCamp 2009 - a big Success |
Thank you to everyone who helped make Missoula BarCamp 2009 a success!
Thanks to our sponsoring organizations, MTWDA, SafeGuard, MAEDC, MATR, ModWest, GrupThink, Le Petit Outre, and KDXT. A big thank you to the volunteers that helped produce the event, including Nick Shonz (for webhosting, early guidance, and setup), Jennifer & Nathan Stephens (for too many things to list in a sentence), Andy Laken (for early guidance), all the session convenors, and all the people who asked during the event, "how can I help", or who just did what they saw was needed. And thanks most of all to the community just for showing up and being brilliant. It was a privilege to hear your thoughts, experience, expertise, enthusiasm, and passion.
The community clearly wants another BarCamp next year. The best way to make sure that happens is to keep building the community. Here are some ways you can contribute:
1) Use the wiki to read and post session notes and whatever else you might think we need there.
2) Visit the flickr and facebook pages to post pictures and comments about the event. Use the tag MissoulaBarCamp2009.
3) Tweet about the event. Use hashtag #MissoulaBarCamp2009 in your post.
4) Volunteer to help organize the next event. There are any number of ways to contribute.
5) Consider participating in any number of local meetings, including the Missoula 501 Tech Club, Missoula Linux Users Group, Montana Coders , and many more.

Missoula BarCamp 2009, our second annual technology, non-profit, and arts unconference will happen on Saturday April 18 from noon to 5pm at Holiday Inn Express (1021 E. Broadway, Missoula, MT). WHEN: Saturday April 18
WHERE: Holiday Inn Express
COST: $8 early, $15 after Apr 11
Registration Required! Do it early and save money. Lunch is included. More about BarCamp 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. Early registration is highly recommended to
ensure adequate facilities and supplies. Due to donations we are able
to offer this event below cost, $8 for early registrations, and $15
after April 11. Registration required, click here to register. Thank you to our local supporting organizations!
