I think both are an inside joke in computing circles, particularly those
of the linux/unix flavors. They will often use example names of files
and applications that have the word foobar in the title. To translate to
Windows users, it might be something like, "To do X, first execute the
foobar.exe file, then...."
Harold I would presume can give you the more juicy details, but I wanted
to demonstrate to all that I had run into the term before, although that
and $2 will get you a cup of coffee.... <grin>

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.”

*Subject:* [OSList] Missoula BarCamp 2012 - Open Space with Lightning
Keynotes
Dear OSList,
If any of you are in Montana this weekend, you'll receive a very
friendly welcome at the premier Montana Open Space event - Missoula
BarCamp. 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.

Blessings!
Harold
