What's a Bar Camp?
A BarCamp is an unconference where people interested in a wide range of technologies come together to teach and learn. Unfamiliar with the un-conference format? Here's the idea in a nutshell. Rather than having scheduled speakers, everyone pitches sessions the morning of the BarCamp. Those sessions are put on a schedule, and lots of little groups form for intense group learning. Everyone is expected to teach, to talk, to participate. Yeah, it's different from a regular conference - but it works!
What is DCampSouth?
DCampSouth is a BarCamp for anyone interested in design and user experience... And it's in the south. DCampSouth was inspired by DCamp, held in May 2006 in Palo Alto, CA. The goal of DCampSouth is to bring together people of all professions interested in user experience and design, to help foster communication between professions, and help foster community. Oh, and to have a lot of fun in the process.
Now, with more folksonomy!
DCampSouth 2007 will kick off with a keynote session by Thomas Vander Wal!
(See New York Times article on Thomas' ideas).
