History. Once upon a time, Tim O'Reilly (O'Reilly Publishing) invited hundreds of interesting people to an "unconference" called FOO (Friends Of O'Reilly). It had no published program, but participants were invited to present talks about whatever was interesting them at the time.
Since FOO was invitation-only, a bunch of people who weren't invited started the Bar Camps. (foo - bar, get it?) The theme is the same: no published program, please bring something interesting. And there are many Bar Camps worldwide. I went to the first Beaver Bar Camp. About half the people there presented at least one talk. I'm planning to go to this one too. I don't have any talks in mind yet.
