Bar Camp Comes to Ireland as TechCamp

techcamp_logo.jpgBar Camp has a new cousin!

TechCamp is the Irish version of FooCamp and BarCamp (http://barcamp.org/). Following on from James Corbett’s post on why Ireland can’t have more get togethers like they do in the States, we’ve decided to hold the first (of many!) collaborative meetings. The aim of the day is for us all to share what we know and learn from everyone else.

They can rest assured that if they need any help, the original Bar Campers will be available to answer any questions they might have. Interestingly they seem to have dispensed with the open space session organizing practice in exchange for predefined sessions. I’m interested to know why they chose that model and if it will result in a more productive meeting…

In any case, good luck to them!
