Bar Camp Zürich Wow, reading about DanaBoyd @ FOO camp, I found the BarCamp site, and discovered that there’s a BarCampZurich planned for Saturday, October 28, 2006!!
Reading all the reports on previous Bar Camps ¹ reminds me of OpenSpace. At WikiSym 2006, TedErnst really convinced me that OpenSpace is the way to run a conference. Maybe the Bar Campers should get rid of breaks, too. 🙂 Take a break when the time is right, eat when the time is right, talk when the time is right. Perhaps the focus on “presentations” is problematic. A presenter needs an audience, a projector, a room, and control, when it would be more pragmatic to engage with listeners right from the start, as equals, and to stick to smaller groups, thus fitting several groups into a single room.
At least they got rid of keynotes.

Alex, thanks for attending & presenting! I’m one of the organizers of BarCampZurich. This very first event will give us an opportunity to experiment with the BarCamp format - at this stage, it’s hard to tell whether it’s right and I think it will evolve fairly quickly. I’m sure this thing will fly! 😃 See you there, Gabor
