Hopefully of interest. I'll be attending this - it'd be great to meet up with others interested in getting started with Kamaelia (or porting to their own language) - a toolset that makes concurrency easy & fun to work with - that or anything* else BBC related . (I'll run and hide from any iPlayer or DRM discussion though ;)

And it's not just the Grande Soy Latte going to my head. We can now announce the venue for BarCamp Manchester and that the signup process is now open. If you put down your name on the Wiki as wanting to attend IT DOES NOT get you a ticket. You need to now sign up proper using the process below - thanks for helping us get an estimate on numbers though. What? ----- You know what a BarCamp is, and if you don't you know how to find out. :-) We'll be providing food and drink, a venue, and lots of other interesting people to talk to. It's completely free of charge, run by people like you, for people like you. You have no excuse. :-) Where? ------ The MEN Media Headquarters on Deansgate Manchester – home to the Manchester Evening News. We’re grateful to MEN Media for opening up the building and letting us have use of their offices on a Saturday. In particular I'm grateful to Ian Carroll for getting us set up over there. It’s a great space with a dedicated auditorium for 40, larger open spaces for groups, and several small meeting rooms. We have dedicated use of the building all day, but it’s an office and we’re guests – please respect the surroundings. When? ----- We can now confirm the date as being 1st March 2008. We've yet to work out a proper schedule, but it's likely to be open doors around 9am, get underway around 9:30am, and close... well, we'll work out exact timings next week, but we've heard whispers somebody might want to sponsor an after-event bar, so we hope that even when the talks finish we'll find a way to keep going until we reboot. Want to help? ------------- We've had loads of offers of help, and you can expect them to start getting called in very soon! Add your name to the appropriate part of the Wiki if you have anything to offer, or get in touch off-list How do I sign up? ----------------- Go here: http://barcamp-manchester.eventwax.com/march-1st-manchester-barcamp After you've signed up we'll keep you informed by e-mail of occasional updates including confirmation of the exact schedule next week so you can start planning your talks.
