BarCamp Senza Confini

Hey, I just registered yesterday for the barcamp in Klagenfurt (February 2+3 2008 at the Alpen-Adria University in Klagenfurt, Carinthia). I went last year too, and that’s what got me blogging . Okay, truthfully told, I was there because Ed thought it would be a good idea. And he turned out to be right (as usual, sigh).

The really exciting thing about this barcamp - and the thing that makes it different than the other barcamps - is all in the name “Sensa Confini”.  This barcamp is geared for people from Austria, Italy and Slovenia/Croatia. And, even more wonderful for us English speakers, it will be held primarily in English.
And a good thing too, ’cause I wouldn’t have translated for you anyway.

So get your traveling shoes on and come on down!

(I hear some mutterings in the background) You don’t know what a barcamp is?

Come on! Join the real world!

A barcamp is an un-conference for topics around technology, web 2.0 and social media (I got that out of the homepage). And more importantly (again out of the homepage) A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering 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 participants.

And it’s interesting, informative and just a bit fun.

If you want to do some reading about it then look here, here or here  (that’ll help you polish up your German).

Here’s the link to get registered and here’s the link to the official site (at least I think it is). It’s definitely worth a visit. I learned a whole bunch the last time and that really gave me the confidence to jump on the band-wagon, as it were. I recommend it to everybody who is interested in technology or web 2.0.

Let’s get lots of us foreigners down there (or up there, depending where you are). I hate always being the token one.
Look forward to seeing you!
