Minnēbar a hit
May 6th, 2006 | by Tim Wilson |
The turnout was huge, the sessions were great, the food was delicious, and the conversations stimulating. Total cost: $3.50 for parking all day. By any measure the first Barcamp-style (un)conference in the Twin Cities was a rousing success.
I caught a total of eight talks and demos between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Here are the titles: Building Synthetic Worlds, The Internet and the Future of Art, Disintermediation, MindTouch (demo), Ajax, Ruby on Rails, Xen (demo), and the Drupal CMS. It was a great mix of technical and non-technical topics.
I recorded a few sessions and will get those online as soon as possible. It was a tough recording environment because of the openness of the space. I’ll try to capture the questions and conversation in the audience as much as possible.

If you have some info on the organization or unorganization, I’d appreciate it. It seems that there are many variations on the theme. Questions I have are:
How many participants?
How many sessions?
Were the sessions pre-planned?
What aspects did you find most helpful?
Those are a few but I’d love to gain more insight into this PD model.
