Hi Guys and Girls, Freaks and Geeks,
I know you all had a blast at least years Astricon and are looking forward to this years as well.........however that's not why I'm writing to you today. I know most of you are familiar with the www.Barcamp.org <http://www.barcamp.org/> events I'm writing to let you know about a 'mega' barcamp that is occurring on the 23rd to 26th of August 2007 www.BarCampUSA.org <http://www.barcampusa.org/> What would you want to do to the BarCamp concept if you could change some things........... Q. "How about make it longer"........ A. Well naturally..... How would 24 hours a day for 4 days straight suit you? Q. "How about having more people"....... A. I was thinking about the same thing, would 5,000+ people be enough for you? Q. "How about having entertainment at night"...... A. Would a couple of different bands, video DJ's, and film demonstrations fit that requirement (oh and a LAN Party to die for). Q "Can I be involved"........ A. Yep discussion topics, volunteering committees, organization committees are being formed now. If this sounds like something of interest to you then head over to www.BarCampUSA.org <http://www.barcampusa.org/> It's in Wisconsin (yeh I know....but I hear they don't bite...:-) and they have electricity and the internet in Wisconsin as well......oh and they have a space big enough for 5,000-10,000+ of us to get together - want to try organize that in New York?) If you want to help out the Asterisk cause then go and register at http://www.barcampusa.com/wiki/index.php?title=Asterisk and include details on what you want your topic to be about. Discounts and benefits for people who buy tickets or companies that sponsor before 1st of May. Tickets went on sale this week at http://www.barcampusa.com/tickets.htm If you work for a company that might like to help keep costs to a minimum by being a sponsor then check out http://www.barcampusa.com/wiki/index.php?title=Sponsors (oh and btw if you are part of a startup looking for funding....check out an event I'm organizing http://www.barcampusa.com/wiki/index.php?title=SpeedPitchShootout ) Please also forward this email to anyone who you know would be interested, especially if they live overseas, I'm really trying to make this as global event as possible. People are already calling this the "Woodstock of our generation" so lets try and make it as special as this opportunities deserves. Regards, Dean Collins P.S. this will be the last email I send to the list about BarCamp until at least August so if you read this far and think I wasted your bandwidth chill until then ok :-)
