Sessions at BarCampBirmingham

April 8th, 2009 · BarCampBirmingahm3

DSC01453 When you registered for BarCampBirmingham3, you probably noticed that you could suggest topics that you wanted to hear about and topics you would be interested in talking about. The response has been great. An overwhelming majority of the people that have registered have filled out at least one of those items.

The way BarCamp works, for those who have never been, is we don’t have any sessions already planned. As you arrive, you will be given an index card to write your topic on. Once we have enough, we will start filling up the schedule grid for the morning slots. We will do the same thing after lunch in case anyone is inspired by a morning session to do a follow-up topic.

Here is a sample of what folks are interested in talking about and learning about (in no particular order):

  • Social Media
  • WordPress
  • Drupal
  • Funding Your Idea
  • Branding yourself online
  • iPhone development
  • PS3 Hacks
  • Mobile Marketing
  • Personal Finance Tools
  • CSS
  • Rails
  • Technical Debt

So keep those ideas coming and help us spread the word about BarCampBirmingham3.

PreCampBirmingham is our traditional meetup on the eve of BarCampBirmingham. Any and all campers are invited. This is a great time to meet up with fellow BarCampers, hang out and have a great time. For those coming from out of town, it is also a good way to meet some of the local folks that will be at the main event on Saturday.

So, meet at Jim N Nicks in Southside around 8pm on Friday, May 1 to mix and mingle with your fellow BarCampers. Here is a Google Map if you are unsure where it is. We have also opened an EventBrite ticket for this to get an estimate of how many to expect.
