\"BarCamp<\/a>The long-awaited BarCamp Portland<\/a>, the second time the wildly popular “unconference” format has been held in Portland, starts on Friday at CubeSpace<\/a>. With more than 200 people have RSVPing to attend<\/a> and a number of others possibly attending, BarCamp Portland is easily one of the most popular events on Upcoming<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Word around the (Bar)Campfire is that folks are traveling from far<\/a> and wide<\/a> to make an appearance.<\/p>\n

Not convinced that BarCamp is worth your time? I’m sure Dawn Foster can changed your mind<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Still need more? Well here are “five reasons to attend BarCamp Portland<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n
  1. The participants set the agenda. No big, corporate conference planners deciding what you want to hear; you get to decide what we talk about!<\/li>\n
  2. Fun! We have plans for evening werewolf, other games, and maybe even a movie on Saturday night.<\/li>\n
  3. You get to hang out with cool people. Last year about 250 of the coolest people in the Portland tech community attended.<\/li>\n
  4. The format is highly interactive: you can ask questions, contribute, and participate. Keep in mind that roundtable discussions work better than presentations at BarCamp.<\/li>\n
  5. All topics are welcome: open source, wiki, programming, knitting, online communities, science fiction, and much more. Get creative with your topics. Want more time on a topic or want to hold an adhoc discussion? We have plenty of flexibility built into the BarCamp format.<\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/ol>\n

    What more convincing do you need? We look forward to seeing you at BarCamp Portland<\/a>.<\/p>\n
