Is fast approaching. April 10th to be exact. While I've not been in the past (I was busy last year), I'd like to attend this year, and perhaps even contribute something.
I'm just trying to think of some topic's that I could maybe discuss at BarCamp.
Here's a list of things I've thought of so far... (I'll pick one):
Webmin - A web systems administration package for servers (mainly Linux)
Virtualmin - A web hosting administration package for servers
Sysadmin on the road - Consultancy and systems administration whilst mobile.
Apple iPad demonstration and practical uses in industry (health / medical uses)
Social Networking as a business tool
Or maybe I will just go and suck down all the
Five Senses Coffee?
Taken from their site:
BarCamp is an ad-hoc unconference born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment
If you've never been to a BarCamp before, the idea is simple. BarCamp Perth is a free, single day event held at
Central Institute of Technology. It's kind of like a conference in that most of the day is filled with talks (both formal and informal) but anyone and everyone is welcome to speak (hence, an unconference).
If you have a topic you're passionate about or you just want to help spread the knowledge, you're invited to submit your talk topic (once that part of the site is up) and people attending on the day will get to choose which talks go when.
In past years, we've had talks on everything from Ruby on Rails to Hardware Hacking to Second Life. If you have something to contribute or just want to learn, BarCamp Perth is for you.
The motto of BarCamp is simple:
No spectators, only participants.
