(crossposted to taclug general, seattle linux list, gslug general) Hi folks, I'd like to pass on information about Barcamp Tacoma. A good friend of mine is running the show. Should be awesome; I hope you can make it! Details follow, in his words...
. . . . . Barcamp is a free, ad-hoc tech conference, where every attendee must present for at least 30 minutes on a topic of their choosing. Last year was our inaugural year, and we had a blast. Some of the highlights were the presentations of arduino-based garden watering systems, twitter in Iran, software entrepreneurship, and a homemade web-dev framework. I think the various user group members are the ideal attendees, and could really have a good time. I also plan on contacting a few of the other regional user groups. The event is at Suite 133 in downtown Tacoma, Saturday, Sept. 25th from 10am-3pm. Afterwards, we will likely go to Dorky's barcade (if it's open), or the hub.
