This is certainly a possibility (though the name is a bit long for a
hashtag!).
Suggestions welcome :-)
I'd suggest you start asking around the Bradford geek scene
and see if you can drum up some more local organisers - having enough
people on the ground is key to making these sorts of things work.
I don't expect this to be a problem
Also @imran and @cubicgarden live within easy travel
Once/if you've got enough organisers, best bet is to approach the museum
about the idea, and if they're interested then we can work with them and
your organising team to put together a proposal
I'm excited by the idea of running an open BarCamp within a working
national museum, and love the idea of taking part in living cultural
exhibit. On the other hand, it is worth noting that doing anything a
little new and potentially high profile is risky. Not to say that that's
a bad thing, just that it needs to be said before people start going off
and doing lots of work...
* An Apache track, perhaps a little like GotoCon (if an open source
conference happens)
If there's a suitable event going to happen, then it's very likely we
could work something out. Are you able to keep an eye out for what
events they're planning, in case there is a suitable event?
I'm not sure how much of what may - or may not - happen is public ATM.
By waiting until it is, we may lose our chance to get involved.
Would it be best to take this to a private list?
And if so, which one
