The after party drinks were definitely needed, and tasted so much better for being on Microsoft&#8217;s tab.

BarCamp Melbourne is on for the 23rd of February 2008 in Melbourne CBD. This will be the first BarCamp held in Melbourne itself, and hopefully this will make it more accessible than last year&#8217;s (there are rumours that two participants got lost and never made the event!!).
While this is a free event, please remember that [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a time of year to reflect on the past 12 months. It&#8217;s time to look at the highlights, sometimes the lowlights, and hopefully lock a few of those nuggets away for future use.

BarCamp Melbourne 2.0 planning is now well under way, and the event is slated to run on the 1st and 2nd of March 2008. The first BarCamp Melbourne had 10 participants, which isn&#8217;t bad considering the venue was over 2 hours from Melbourne! This time, we&#8217;re looking for a venue in, or very close to, [...]]]></description>

Just a quick update on BarCampMelbourne &#8211; someone suggested I email the Mayor and see if there&#8217;s any chance of funding or other assistance, so I&#8217;ve just written him an email.

BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference 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.
I&#8217;ve started the BarCampMelbourne wiki page and have been talking to George Dickeson who&#8217;s doing the same for BarCampAdelaide about running the two on the [...]]]></description>
