For the Canberra BarCamp we’re totally open to topics beyond technology to include entertainment, art, marketing, other technologies and content such as podcasts and so on. Ideally, whatever you talk about will have some form of technical or geek-friendly angle.

  • What? A good opportunity to share ideas and projects and to work with like-minded individuals.
  • When? 1000-1700 on Saturday 19 April 2008
  • Where? BarCampCanberra will be held at the CSIT Building, North Road, ANU.
  • Website? The blog is the place. We’ll be posting updated information about the event there.
