I have put together an article about my experiences at BarCampMilwaukee2. I wrote it because I wanted to be able to point people to something that can describe what a BarCamp is like. It’s one thing to give out the description of “unconference, no preset schedule, etc.”, but it’s another thing to actually be at the BarCamp participating. I really enjoyed BarCampMilwaukee2 as I have previously posted and I’m getting excited about the possibilities ahead of us for BarCampMadison2.
The article can be found at http://tech.fradkin.com/articles/barcampmilwaukee2.html.
I’ve also created a handy RSS feed for tech.fradkin.com that can be pulled into your favorite feed reader: http://tech.fradkin.com/rssfeed.xml. Updates tend to be infrequent, but at least you would be notified that I’ve updated something.

Just an example of the sleeping arrangements at BarCampMilwaukee2. It’s part of the charm.
The missing pillow wasn’t BarCamp’s fault… BarCamp didn’t steal it or anything.

A full recap of the BarCampMilwaukee2 event is forthcoming. I’m currently parsing through the details in my head in an attempt to create as thorough a writeup as possible.
My computer is still in a state of flux. I had to go out and purchase a notebook cooler (which works fabulously! Running on low speed the CPU is around 50 C… a little bit high, but at least it isn’t self-destructing) in order to use it. At some point I’ll need to invoke a service call to Dell to either get it fixed or to get the computer replaced.
In short, the BarCamp was a blast. There were a lot of really great people there, great discussions, good food, and good video gaming.

The event has started. Food is flowing. Sessions start at 1pm.
I hope my computer makes it. For some reason, it doesn’t seem like my fan is running.

BarCampMilwaukee2 starts tomorrow morning at 10am. I’ll be up long before the crack of dawn to finish getting all my stuff together and drive over to Milwaukee.
If my health holds out (of course I’d come down with a nasty cold the afternoon before the event!) I’ll remain semi-coherent and be able to give some presentations, enjoy some food, good company, and learn lots.
I’m going to attempt to either semi-liveblog here or on Twitter. It depends upon whether I can find time to fix my command-line Ruby Twitter sending program so that I don’t have to use the Twitter website to post.
There’s still time to come on out. It runs until Sunday at 4pm. The official website is www.barcampmilwaukee.com. If you’re not pre-registered you’ll have to show up during the day to get registered, otherwise you won’t be able to get into the venue in the evening.
