<strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">(1) What is a BarCamp ?</span></strong><b><br>
</b>BarCamp is an international network of unconferences — open,
participatory
workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — focusing
on
early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies and
social
protocols. The name is a playful allusion to its origins, with
reference to the
hacker slang term, foobar: BarCamp arose as a spin-off from Foo Camp,
an annual
invitation-only unconference hosted by open source publishing luminary,
Tim
O'Reilly. BarCamps are organized (and evangelized) largely through the
web,
harnessing what might be called a Web 2.0 communications toolkit. By
"open-sourcing" the organizational process of a Foo Camp
unconference, that is, codifying it in a wiki and making that publicly
available, BarCamp <a href="http://barcamp.org/BarCamp">http://barcamp.org/BarCamp</a>
seems to have struck a chord. It has since been implemented in 31
cities around
the world and is serving as a reference for unconferences in other
fields. The
involvement of key figures in the web development community, such as
Tantek
Çelik and Ross Mayfield, no doubt has helped its adoption.<br>
