Harold - Sounds wonderful! And . could you answer a stupid question that has niggled my mind for a while: What is the derivation of "BarCamp?" "Camp" I understand, but "bar?" And while you are at it - how about the same for "Foocamp."

April 13-14. http://missoulabarcamp.org. Inspired originally by O'Reilly's FooCamp and the spinoff BarCamp until Kaliya Hamlin educated me about Open Space Technology. I eventually learned OST was the pure lineage from which sprang BarCamp. So though we use the BarCamp title, I launched it straight from the OST manual back in 2008 after I took Lisa Heft's awesome training. We're in our fifth year. It's a conversation between artists, techies, and people who want to make the world better (change agents). Inspired by the awesome work Peggy Holman has done with the Journalism That Matters conferences - we start with warm up talks. We now call them "Lightning Keynotes" so we can attract bigger names with giving them the "bully pulpit" for a short time - and they usually stay and get involved in the Open Space as well. We've partnered with IgniteMissoula - so we also opened up for some community submitted 5 minute talks. I'm excited that OSList member and fellow JTM-er Sono Hashisaki will be one of those Lightning Keynotes. This is our fifth year - and it's exciting to see it happening in a beautiful facility - the Native American Center - a gorgeous new building with a circular lobby that seems built for Open Space. The University of Montana president will kick us off. I'm very much excited - and deeply grateful to all the support I've received from this community over the years. http://missoulabarcamp.org Blessings!
