BarCamp Grand Rapids 2
no, it's nothing (inherently) about drinking. It's a fun geeky get-together that I'm helping organize again this year. Here's the announcement with all the info:
Rule #1 of BarCamp: you DO talk about BarCamp.
http://barcamp.org/BarCampGrandRapids2
We're proud to announce our second BarCamp (dangerously close to being "annual"). BarCamp is a technology & design unconference where the campers (you) determine what's on the schedule. These ad-hoc unconferences are intense events with discussions, demos, and a chance to interact with fellow attendees. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to participate.
WHEN: Friday evening, July 20 and Saturday, July 21
WHERE: Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI
COST: Free! But everyone is encouraged to present something and be involved, even if you're never given a talk before.
WHAT: So far, topics ranging from opensource business to the JQuery Javascript library to next generation communications. Ultimately each camper has an opportunity to help determine the content.
