The Joy of Geek
Decided to put my name down for BarCamp London (or, at least, to sign up for the pre-sign up helper list). It’s a chance to get out of the flat, and spend a weekend discussing geek stuff in a sweaty office. Perfect.
- 1st Rule: You do talk about Bar Camp.
- 2nd Rule: You do blog about Bar Camp.
- 3rd Rule: If you want to present, you must write your topic and name in a presentation slot.
- 4th Rule: Only three word intros.
- 5th Rule: As many presentations at a time as facilities allow for.
- 6th Rule: No pre-scheduled presentations, no tourists.
- 7th Rule: Presentations will go on as long as they have to or until they run into another presentation slot.
- 8th Rule: If this is your first time at BarCamp, you HAVE to present. (Ok, you don’t really HAVE to, but try to find someone to present with, or at least ask questions and be an interactive participant.)
Rule 1 and 2 - done. I’m very keen to get properly involved so I’ll have to give some thought to Rule 8. Maybe something about MMOs, or maybe just a session on explaining the Joy of Geek to non-believers. I seem to spend a lot of time on that these days.
Update: It sold out! Wait, no it didn’t! The suspense… To be continued.
