“Most definitely NOT fail” – Davymac
First, a huge thank you and congratulations to Andy who very successfully pulled of the organisation of Barcamp on Saturday. Though it wasn’t without miniature disasters and minor fallbacks, which Andy has raised.
Having said that, problems were minor and overcome with the help of understanding participants and attendees, such as Matt’s skills on the wi-fi front.
It was enjoyable and exciting to be around so many bloggers and twitterers in my home town for a change. The speakers did a great job; many promoting a lot of thought and conversation during and after presentations. Darragh and Grannymar’s technique of involving everyone in the room in an open conversation about blogging really stood out. I was curious about Emma Persky’s talk on Vision Based Tracking and now still intrigued as to how possible this technology is beyond waving at your laptop.
With around 80 people, attendance was great. There were plenty of talks and presentations, on a range of subjects, most were very interesting. SO kudos to all who were there. Six months and we do it all again.
