Barcamp Belfast 2007
Long awaited conference finally came to Belfast on Saturday, 30th June. It was a splendid event, and many thanks to Matt Keenan from OpCode Solutions for organising it.
I wanted to attend conference and every single talk so much, that I overslept and made it only at lunch break time. The good thing is that I was welcomed by tables full of delicious pizza, to serve as my breakfast. Coincidence? I don’t think so!
In the meantime I run into my friend David, met a few interesting people and got into good mood for incoming talks.
Afternoon session of talks was held in two rooms, so you had to choose what to attend. Most of decisions were dead easy, and I ended up attending:- Selecting free software for e-consultation by David Newman
- Marketing on a Shoe String by Denise Fay
- Easy VPNs with OpenVPN by Thomas Pedoussaut
- Something about Internet Marketing by Alastair McDermott
After official part we moved to Bar12 for refreshing drinks, then to replenish our hungry bodies at Moghul, then split into more groups and started heading home. With one more pit stop, I’ve finally hit my bed at 2am.
Bottom line, I had great time, learned a lot, met great people (you know who I mean :)) and once again noticed world is rather small place.
Looking forward to BarCamp Galway in September.
