BarCampNorthEast

If you have been reading my blog over time you will know that I am a fan of the BarCamp format. I have attended both the London BarCamps and intend to attend at Brighton. I may also attend at Sheffield, but the lack of a stopover makes the journey some what less appealing.

The good news for everyone around the North East of England is that we are planning a two day BarCamp in or around Newcastle upon Tyne. We have a web page up and running here and I will be blogging more information when it comes in.

We already have sponsorship in hand and are looking at options for the venue. The hard part is finding a venue that will allow several dozen people to sleep on the floor. All suggestions welcome.

    Alistair,

    Totally agree about the stopover. So I’ve managed to secure funding to pay for 30 single hotel rooms on the Saturday night in Sheffield City.

    Strictly on a first come first served basis based on signup (and being here by midday on the saturday to claim the room)

    Look forward to seeing you there

    thanks

    Dean
