Code of Conduct
Yeah, we don't like rules either, that's why we kept these short. These apply to both BarCamps and the Geek Dinners. Please review so we can all have a good time. BarCampLA Code of Conduct
Questions
- Do I have to come with a presentation? Not necessarily. Barcamp is about participation. And a presentation can be about a lot of things. Demo a new product. Share a methodology. Participate in a panel. Suggest a topic. Make jello shots, host werewolf or bring your Wii and some games.
Help Us Get the Word Out!
Here's the boiler plate:**
BarCamp
is an ad-hoc un-conference 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 attendees.
All attendees should be prepared to give a demo, run a session, or help with one. All presentations are scheduled the day they happen. Prepare in advance, but come early to get a slot on the wall.
Presenters are responsible for making sure that notes/slides/audio/video of their presentations are published on the web for the benefit of all and those who can't be present.
Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to join.
