Yup, it’s time for BarCamp Seattle 09, which kicks off Saturday morning at 10. Registration is closed ^[1], but that shouldn’t preclude you from coming (it just means you won’t have a name tag).

What’s BarCamp? Well, this handy paragraph I pilfered from the BarCamp Seattle site ^[2] should help you understand:

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 attendees. It is an international network of user generated non-traditional social conferences— open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats. Oh and super fun!!
