This coming weekend BarCampNortEast2 will be held in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, right after Thinking Digital. For a lot of people, this will be their first BarCamp. We spoke to Alistair MacDonald the main organiser behind this Barcamp, about what was planned and why anyone thinking about it should come along.
A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering of people to share and learn in an open environment. The event is participation driven that means that you make it happen. It is not so much a conference as it is an "unconferance". There is a wikipedia article with more information at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp .In the past there have been presentations, workshops and discussions on the latest bleeding edge technology, software and web development, using the Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú APIs, hardware hacking, social interaction, wine tasting, show and tell, how to make the perfect cup of tea, and most things in between.
This year BarCampNorthEast2 is being hosted in the heart of Newcastle in part of the grade one listed station buildings. The cost of attendance is free and food and refreshments are supplied. Please reserve your place online at https://www.barcampnortheast.com/get-a-ticket/ .
If you are not certain if the event is for you then please come along and see what it is about. You are free to leave at ant time, but we are certain you will not want to. Even if you can not attend on Saturday or Sunday day you are welcome as a Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú Backstager to join us for a few drinks on Saturday evening from 8pm. You can meet other like-minded people and possibly partake in an evening session or two.
