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[Some people might not know it, but I&#8217;m a grammar nazi. You might not know this because I don&#8217;t correct people (except those who have asked me to correct them).
You&#8217;ll imagine my excitement (or at least extreme interest) in last Wednesday&#8217;s showing of Are you smarter than a 5th grader, when a contestant was asked [...]]]></description>

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>
