Peter Ward has organised the first Brisbane BarCamp for this weekend!

What is a BarCamp
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. Here is a quote from the wikipedia description (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp):
 
'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.'
 
In other words an opportunity to interact and listen to presentations from members of the IT community at large no matter what platform/vendor or technology is being used.
 
Where:     East Brisbane Bowls Club (Mowbray Park, Lytton Road)
When:      10am-late on the 24th November 2007
Cost:         $20.00 which includes bare foot bowls and a BBQ lunch plus all proceedings.
 
If you are interested in participating in the event as a presenter, sponsor or organiser then please contact Steve Dalton (s@dalts.com) or Peter Ward (peter@wardyit.com) as they would be delighted with your participation.

(I'll be giving a presentation about BizTalk at this event)
