It's this weekend at the Schlitz Park Center if you're interested.  It's an unconference where people get together to talk about technology for an entire weekend, straight.  Camp out at the site so you don't miss a thing.  I'm busy on Saturday, but might be able to make it Sunday.  Check out the site for more information on how to participate.

The dates and location for BarCamp Madison have been finalized.  It will be March 3rd and 4th, 2007 at the Inn on the Park Hotel.  The next planning meeting will be held in early January, so stay tuned to the Current Event page for details if you want to participate.

As if BarCampMadison weren't enough, now the same folks who are organizing the Madison event (me included) are going to be planning another Bar Camp in August 2007 called BarCampUSA.  You can find out more about the event and sign up at the BarCampUSA website.  It will be held at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, which is about 2 hours from Chicago, and is planned to be jam packed with 4 days of events.  If you'd like to spread the word, you can also read about it on Digg and digg the story.

To all of you software types in South Eastern Wisconsin... take a look at Bar Camp Madison:

BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. BarCampMadison is currently planned to be 30 hour event focused on technology and creativity.

Bar Camps have been springing up everywhere.  You can find out more about the concept, and previous events, at the main page.  Bar Camp Madison is being sponsored by Stratagem Consulting, and is currently in the early organizational phases, with a goal of running in early 2007.  If you're interested, check out the site and sign up to participate!
