[...] What I think often goes missing from the story is that the original BarCamp was planned, organized and executed by a small scrappy group of upstarts, only one of whom had previously been to FOO Camp (and who ended up being invited back last year anyway). It wasn’t anti-FOO, it was just different — with different goals and a different raison d’etre. [...]

[...] Last year, on August 18th, I wrote of BarCamp that: Next year I expect to see multiple satellite Bar Camps happening the world over, loosely joined via the web, bringing distributed collaboration and culture building to a much, much wider audience. Podcasted, Flickered, wikified, videographied and blogged like mad. [...]

@Andy: It went incredible well! So much more than I ever could have hoped for.

@Kevin: I would love to see Bar Camp happen in Puerto Rico and all over the place — there did seem to be an enabling atmosphere here in the Bay Area, but I do think that, given the right amount of desire and willpower, this kind of thing can be done just about anywhere.

The beauty of Bar Camp is that it’s really an “un-event” — meaning that when you’re motivated and you want to do it, do it! We were fortunate to have an inspiration in Tim O’Reilly’s Foo Camp, but there no reason that you can’t do this whenever it strikes your fancy.

@Bill: I’m glad you could attend and found it worthwhile. The support we’ve gotten from putting on this event has been spectacular. I learned so much from this and got so much out of — it’s so affirming to hear that other folks similarly benefitted as well.

And as I’m also known in certain circles as the “Don of Open Source”, a Mafia game would certainly be in order next year… though perhaps we might plan on infiltrating the Foo Camp and seeing how fast they can put up a wet resistance!

Chris, thank you for helping organize this. I learned many things even though I didn’t stay for the whole thing. Next year we’ll organize a Mafia game.

This is soooo freaking awesome. I can’t begin to tell you how great it is to see this meme escape. I also can’t begin to tell you how desparate Puerto Rico needs a Bar Camp. At first I made a commitment to myself to make sure we participate next year. Now I’m getting so excited, that I can’t wait for next year. I want to throw a Bar Camp in a couple of months. What do you think. Is that jumping the gun? I don’t want to seem too aggressive, but we need this bad. What do you think?

Event - Bar Camp (Day 1)

Today I drove over 300 miles to get to Bar Camp. I believe that was the farthest distance anyone traveled, although I haven’t fact-checked that yet. It was worth it.
The event started at 7:00. Everyone had to “sign in” and “ta…
