Barcamp Rochester 2009

A spinoff of O'Reilly's FooCamp, an annual invitation-only participant driven conference, BarCamp is an Ad-hoc conference born of the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. Participants prepare ahead of time, but all presentations are scheduled the day of the conference on a giant white board schedule. This year will be the fourth consecutive year for Barcamp Rochester and promises to be the largest yet and is still growing in size. As of now, over 90 people have signed up to share their interests with topics ranging from "Getting to know the Itanium Architecture" to "The Zombie Apocalypse" to "Lady Parts and You" with a wide variety of other topics thrown in. I personally plan on co-presenting on the PHP framework Codeigniter as well as providing live coverage of the conference via video stream, photos, and updates on the presentations throughout the day. So if you're in the Rochester NY area on April 18 and have a skill, seminar, or demo that you feel like sharing, you should head on over to barcamproc.org to sign up and join the fun!! If you can't make it, then feel free to join us by tuning into the live web streams of various presentations. When we get closer to April 18, I'll start to post where you?ll be able to find the live video streams and updates of events throughout the day.
