Since my trip to Bangalore earlier this year I have spent quite a bit of time thinking about India and talking to Indian entrepreneurs. The Barcamp we had at Yahoo has helped me foster several valuable relationships. I even seriously discussed moving to India with my wife (who was not interested). There is no dearth […]

Brian and I are hosting BarCamp South Beach January 19th - 20th at the Delano. Our plan is to include spouses so get your significant other excited about a winter trip to Florida and on the flight down you can mention that we are also doing a BarCamp at the same time.
Check out what […]

Lots of conversations are going on about Barcamp Bangalore. It is clear to me that my new Indian friends really got the ’spirit of barcamp’ as explained by Nichant Shah:
So the barcamp bangalore came to a resounding end. It actually made a larger bang than the big bang, at least in the techie […]

What is BarCamp? Technology communities who previously depended on companies like O’Reilly to organize events on their behalf now self-organizing their own events. The typical O’Reilly conference can cost each participant $2000 plus travel. The typical BarCamp can be organized for less than $2000 for the entire event! The first BarCamp […]

BarCamp Bangalore is well underway. I have attended three sessions SCRUM (by Pete), Pinko Marketing (by Tara) and Eclipse (by Anshu). Check out headshots of the attendees here. Check out the overall flickr stream here.

Got together with some of the BarCamp organizers last night for a pre-barcamp dinner. The event looks to be promising and there is evidence that the people here really ‘get’ the ’spirt of barcamp.’ If you have been trying to reach me, don’t worry, but my phone is not working here. I will be on […]

The BarCamp Bangalore Podcast has been created. Check it out here. There are two pre-barcamp episodes there already (the first is an overview of BarCampDallas from Brian and the second is a general conversation about BarCamp by Chris Messina). The Podcast is public, thus anyone with video (mov, mp4) or audio (mp3) from or about […]

I will be headed to India to attend BarCamp Bangalore next week (assuming my Visa is approved). So if you need me, you might not be able to find me. I am really excited about the whole DIY conference movement - you can keep track of my travels on Flickr where I […]

I met Simon Phipps’s from Sun at SXSW and we talked about getting SimpleTicket to run on their new Sun Fire T2000 server (it only runs on Linux now). I had requested a free server after reading Jonathan’s blog describing the free server program. I filled out the online request form found here. […]

This weekend we successfully attended two conferences, BarCampAustin and SXSW in a grueling ‘conference mashup’ we called SXSWCamp. The best panel of the two on Saturday was the Open Source Panel after dinner (it was at BarCamp). We are now at the startup panel at SXSW (Lopp, Spolsky, Sasser, Williams, and Schachter).

This evening the main conversation was about Icerocket’s founder Blake Rhodes. The question? Does he even exist? Here are some theories:
Blake Rhodes is a psudeonym for an India programmer named Sanjay
Blake Rhodes is actually Mark Cuban
Blake Rhodes is actually an anagram (you figure it out)
Blake Rhodes is a 10 year old prodigy […]

SXSW is finally here. Looks like we will have folks from Weblogs Work (Brian who will be speaking at the Geek Lunch on Tuesday), Architel (Alex Leverington who will be talking about SimpleTicket) and Big in Japan (Me who will be demo’ing PodServe) down in Austin starting today through next week. Should be a great […]

So much for Adhoc, the Austin Barcamper’s each will receive an official Barcamp t-shirt and Lotus Elise!

We will be down for SXSW so stopping in at BarCamp Austin seems like a good idea.
