Bartosz Ptaszynski will be running a tutorial session on the Python Web Framework Django. It is aimed at anyone who wants to get a feel for what these frameworks are all about and how they can help you. One group in particular who might benefit are web designers who want some insight into the development [...]

We’ve collected all the session/talk ideas received so far and put them on their own page. A lot of people have indicated during sign-up that they want to talk but haven’t given a topic yet. We’ll update the page as we receive the details from them.
We’ll have separate more detailed posts on a couple of [...]

We’ll be posting a page later today with all of the session topics suggested so far by people. However there is one aspect which we need to make clear. BarCamp is a non-commercial unconference and, as such, straight company or product pitches are not appropriate.

We have at least one person coming on November 1st who will have a child in tow. We want to facilitate this in a way that works best for everyone. Would love to get some ideas here. Obviously babies are no problem at all and older ones can take care of themselves but how best [...]

I really hope I make it on the 1st but even if I don’t I wanted to make a point that the informal dialogue we are supposed to have as people interested in Web 2.0 is one we should extend to brands and organisations.
I don’t mean we should set up Bar Camp to sell services [...]

In keeping with our approach of avoiding too much pre-structuring of the day, we are not going to ask people to formally announce session titles etc. However we do want to get some idea of the areas people want to [a] hear about and [b] talk about. If the day works well, those two things [...]

I’m not exaggerating when I say I think it’s the best BarCamp logo I’ve ever seen! John Henry Donovan has done a perfect mash-up of the classic logo with the outline of Cork. Thanks John Henry, looking forward to meeting you in Cork.
