Bullshit from what I hear is the secret ingredient to BarCamp.
W.R. preaches from his pulpit about why BarCamp is not your regular geek meetup. BarCamp is an open community (though you might not know that from certain person’s alpha male behaviour). But it embraces designers, technologists, entrepreneurs, marketers, capitalists, socialists, anarchists, chickens, Ruby on Rails, Ruby (off the Rails too), Python, Smalltalk, Java, Ada, Jovial, C, C++, C#, .Net, web, command line, enterprise, startup, email, irc, microformats, meta data, etc. Are you passionate about what’s going on in the world? Come out and share, learn and participate.
