BarCamp San Diego

BarCamp SD off to a slow start!
Maybe it’s the rain. Afterall it never rains in San Diego, so I expected most would show up later than anticipated. Not knowing what to expect, I was impressed with the Intuit campus but a bit confused when I walked in to the entrance.
There was very little instruction and even fewer presentations scheduled. The presentation board has 4-5 slots per half hour from 10am – 6pm, so figure 64-80 presentation opportunities. At 10am I only counted a dozen or so scheduled presentations. So I grabbed my seat in the first presentation at 10:30 for HD Video and at 11am they were forced to move the HD Video presentation to 12pm in a different room due to technical difficulties.
At the very least I am now planning to meet some interesting people and get quite a bit of work done on
Web Real Estate Tools.
RE BarCamp can be the wild-west of meetings and I feel every one needs to come willing to contribute something to the conversation. I put together a little “newbies” blog post so they won’t arrive and become totally lost, especially when people start talking about SEO. I still feel BarCamp is an exciting adventure and plan to go to two this fall, Lynchburg VA and Washington DC.
Hope there are some good presentations and I’m willing to discuss WordPress.
Oh, I missed the “CommentLuv” as it switched my website… something that is a good idea to share at the next RE BarCamp!
