Man, after that last blog post I need something less depressing to talk about.
So, myself and Dan Hardiker are attending BarCamp Leeds in a weeks' time.
As the literature explains, it's an un-conference. There's no set agenda and the talks are presented by the attendees:
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. The name BarCamp was inspired as a complement to FooCamp.
I've never attended Bar Camp before so this is going to be yet another new experience for me.
I'm hoping to do a talk on "gung-ho business" - basically a talk on Adaptavist - which is just as well considering the 8th rule:
1st Rule: You do talk about Bar Camp.- 2nd Rule: You do blog about Bar Camp.
- 3rd Rule: If you want to present, you must write your topic and name in a presentation slot. (can't do this 'till we get there)
- 4th Rule: Only three word intros. (gung-ho business)
- 5th Rule: As many presentations at a time as facilities allow for. (we're not in control of this)
- 6th Rule: No pre-scheduled presentations, no tourists. (ditto!)
- 7th Rule: Presentations will go on as long as they have to or until they run into another presentation slot. (ditto #2)
- (hopefully) 8th Rule: If this is your first time at BarCamp, you HAVE to present. (Ok, you don't really HAVE to, but try to find someone to present with, or at least ask questions and be an interactive participant.)
So, if any of you are attending come over and say hello! I'll be wearing one of our subtle (as a brick) Adaptavist t-shirts

So does this qualify as a herd or a veritable herd of blog posts?
More importantly, when will the Adaptavist subtle shirt be publicly available???
In terms of quantity, a mere herd, I think. Although, in relation to the usual number it could well be deemed a veritable herd. Difficult to say.
As for the t-shirts, we're still trying to think of something witty, or at least mildly amusing, to put on the front of them. Any ideas welcome
