BarCamp - it’s a meeting Jim, but not as we know it
I’m off to BarCampWellingtonNZegov, as the topic of making Government 2.0 happen here in New Zealand interests me both professionally and personally.
But what is a BarCamp? Described elsewhere as an unconference, it 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.”
As a meetings practitioner who hasn’t experienced BarCamps, unconferences or their predecessor Open Space Technology I’ll be watching closely to see how it works - as well as participating in the content.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article o.us poetry, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
