I went to the Ruby Users Group meeting last night. I said an official "Hello" for PLUG. I mentioned how I was going to cross post some events and they asked that I forward this to PLUG. It sounds interesting ... apparently the concept of a Bar Camp is a response to O'Reilly's FOO Camp ... (and unlike Desert Code Camp, involves actual camping). There is no date, the idea is just being thrown out at this point. But 2 months from now was mentioned as a possible time. Austin -------- Original Message -------- From: james.britt@gmail.com To: Refresh Phoenix Subject: [refresh-phoenix] Phoenix Bar Camp Date: Sun, 07 May 2006 13:34:00 -0700 Those who went to Desert Code Camp this past Saturday were encouraged to see an actual software conference right here in the Valley. (OK, it was a bit too Microsoft-y for my taste, but the interest in Ruby was encouraging.) After the conference, a few of us were talking about having a Phoenix Bar Camp. Aaron had brought this up before, and others expressed interest, but it seems to have drifted off the radar. See http://barcamp.org for what Bar Camp is all about. I'd like to give it kick, and see if we can get some momentum behind it. I went and set up a Wiki page on the Refresh Phoenix site, only to realize that there was already a Wiki page on the Bar Camp site. http://refreshphoenix.org/wiki/phoenixbarcamp http://barcamp.org/BarCampPhoenix And there's a Google Groups mailing list. http://groups.google.com/group/BarCampPhoenix My suggestions: People interested in getting a Phoenix Bar Camp rolling should go join the Google list for that, so we don't clutter this list. We can pick up the discussion there, and perhaps figure out were is the best place to collect plans, ideas, whatever (Bar Camp wiki, RePhx wiki, someplace else?).
