The number of phone calls and emails I&#8217;ve made hasn&#8217;t increased dramatically, so what&#8217;s happened?

		<description><![CDATA[The event was brilliant. I loved it. Everyone says they got a lot out of it. The after party drinks were definitely needed, and tasted so much better for being on Microsoft&#8217;s tab. I sat down on Sunday afternoon after getting up at 1pm, had a coffee and reflected on the day. It truly was [...]]]></description>

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>

		<description><![CDATA[The new year typically spawns lots of &#8220;Best of &#8230;&#8221; and &#8220;What happened in &#8230;&#8221; articles and blog posts. 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.

Not only do we have to worry about someone stealing data directly through our site or from our database, cross site scripting (XSS) attacks provide a mechanism for someone to run arbitrary code on another web site.

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>
