12Just got back from attending BarCamp Canberra #1. BarCamp is an unconference, where the attendees provide all of the content, it's free relying on sponsorship from some very generous companies.
13
14Everyone had a great time - it was essentially a day of lightning talks covering software design, web 2.0, software development and werewolf hunting.
15
16I presented a talk on the "three firefox extensions you can not live without" - del.icio.us bookmarks, GTDInbox and Yubnub firefox extension. The audience got involved and discussed their favourite extensions, a good time was had by all.
17
18Later in the day I co-presented on GTD - the David Allen "Getting Things Done" methodology. I really can't wait until the next barcamp, it was un-pretentious and fun - I can see why barcamps are gaining popularity globally.

Just got back from attending BarCamp Canberra #1. BarCamp is an unconference, where the attendees provide all of the content, it's free relying on sponsorship from some very generous companies.

Everyone had a great time - it was essentially a day of lightning talks covering software design, web 2.0, software development and werewolf hunting.

I presented a talk on the "three firefox extensions you can not live without" - del.icio.us bookmarks, GTDInbox and Yubnub firefox extension. The audience got involved and discussed their favourite extensions, a good time was had by all.

Later in the day I co-presented on GTD - the David Allen "Getting Things Done" methodology. I really can't wait until the next barcamp, it was un-pretentious and fun - I can see why barcamps are gaining popularity globally.
