= Bar Camp London – Date TBA What is BarCampLondon? Think of it as a way to get the tech/geek community together in London during the Spring/Summer. What will happen during the event? Only one thing is certain: It's up to you to decide. The most important thing you should take away from the event? Relationships with other geeks! == When TBC. We reckon sometime in April, maybe? == Where TBC. Can you offer a venue, if so let us know here please! == News 20 Jan 2006: This page is created. == What is it? (As stolen from BarCampNYC, as copied from...) BarCamp is an ad-hoc un-conference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees. All attendees must give a demo, a session, or help with one. Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join. When you come, be prepared to share with barcampers. When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world. Questions?
