Bar Camp Amsterdam
Well, I’m back in Vancouver now and Amsterdam is already a distant memory, buried under piles of email in the in box.
Bar Camp Amsterdam was a huge success, and I’ve never been to a conference where I learned so much. I especially loved learning more about Jabber, and seeing RalphM’s cool map with Jabber presence integration. Hey, those jabber folks even have a spec for transmitting audio information! I wonder how I can use that.
The open ended and ‘participant driven’ conference schedule meshed perfectly with everyone’s desire to share and learn. Instead of a single presenter speaking to passive listeners, everyone was an active participant. And Boris cooked some great meals.
Photos are available (of course).
