This past weekend, Barcamp celebrated its 2-year anniversary at BarCampBlock in Palo Alto, CA.
For those who’ve never heard of the concept:
BarCamp is an international network of unconferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies and social protocols.
From the BarCampBlock press release:
Who should be there? Anyone working on a new startup that wants to get some great feedback. Anyone looking for talent. Anyone talented looking for work. Anyone looking to invest in brilliant new ideas. Anyone looking to find partners for their brilliant new ideas. Anyone who wants to practice a presentation s/he is working on. Anyone who has a passion for blogging, wikis, design, coding and the web in general. Everyone is welcome. Everyone is encouraged to present. It’s totally free and an excellent source of what is hot, new and upcoming.
With a contribution of $100, Intellitics is a proud sponsor of BarCampBlock, long before we even incorporate. It’s our way of saying thank you to the many who — at previous barcamps or similar open events (and often without their knowing it) — have contributed so generously to the ideas we’re trying to implement. If you happen to have been at any one of these events and were involved in our discussions about civic participation and how to bring dialogue and deliberation to the web, this donation was for you:
