Information about the Bar Camp activities will be posted here before the conference.Jasig conferences represent a wonderful opportunity for collaboration and networking. To promote this, for the Spring 2010 conference we've allocated time for a BarCamp-style session. 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. The name BarCamp was inspired as a complement to FooCamp. http://barcamp.org/

When: Wed afternoon (4/30) 1:30pm-5:00pm

titleHow to participate
borderStylesolid
  • Sign up below. Please put your name and any organization you represent
  • Bring a laptop - It's great for showing off that program you mentioned in your session. 
  • Be ready to participate - come with an idea for a session you can lead. You don't have to be an expert at your topic; as long as it's not too specific, there'll probably be someone else present who can help you out. You can also contribute to the conversation during a session. This is a great way to participate, since it spreads knowledge from everyone, instead of just the leader.
