...and kickin'.

Next weekend marks the one year anniversary of the original BarCamp, held last year in San Jose. Folks around the globe have latched onto this un-conference, ad-hoc sharing of knowledge and technology forum in a crazy frenzy sort of way, with BarCamps popping up everywhere from Vienna, to Brasil, to Shanghai.

And yes, Vancouver is now on the BarCamp map, as this city's first BarCamp gets set to kick-off next week, as a part of BarCampEarth, marking the anniversary.
