So BarCampBirmingham v3 in the books, this was my first. I’m no longer a BarCamp Virgin! I was actually surprised by the turn out, I figured around 75 to 100 people easy. I noticed allot of talent throughout the sessions, and it was nice to get others take on topics from Python and Ruby to Iphone or Blackberry. I must say tho, the Mac Cult was in full force.
One of the best parts was not from the scheduled sessions. It was the sessions in the halls that I found the most interesting. How several very opinionated individuals can get together and discuss everything from the type of music someone listens to, to local Birmingham Politics.
It was good seeing old friends, meeting new ones, and hanging with current one. It was also great meeting our nerd brethern from Nashville, Hey Mitch. I took another listen to a radio station I ditched, Live 100.5 thanks Ken.
I’m looking forward to the next BarCamp and think we could easy handle two a year in Birmingham. Up next, WordCamp!

Good to see you there!
I think B’ham could handle another BarCamp this year, but I don’t know if I could handle helping put another one together! But as the word spreads, more volunteers will step in to run the show.
I was working and missed the picture. For shame!
YO! When was this picture taken? I had to leave just before 4pm and I never heard anybody talk about taking the picture.
