Calling Senator Norris

"I love BarCamp. I'll support anything with camp in it." -- Joe Drumgoole

Late in the day, so I don't think he knew how it sounded.

Well that's the last of the BarCamp quotes file (unless you want to send me something!)

The Nutter Lottery

During the Panel discussion at Barcamp Dublin, the Kathy Sierra incident came up...

"Every [blog] reader is a lottery ticket... but a lottery you don't want to win" -- Ryan Alexander

"If you offer yor opinions to the world, people will offer theirs back" -- Darren Barefoot
"There used to be a level of fame starting with A-List and ending with the college professor with a few hundred students that knew him. Well thanks to blogs, you can have more readers than that traditional bottom level" -- Darren Barefoot

"Far worse happens on a software development board than ever happened on a social blog" -- Karlin Lillington

It's alive I tell you

Can we have flutes at the next BarCamp?

BarCamp Ireland 3 (or BarCamp Dublin as everyone know it has been and gone (and with O'Leary in the digital archive).

For me its fun as there are certain people I only ever seem to meet at a BarCamp its almost a reunion to me. This is something I'll explain much better next week.

The main problem with BarCamp is you have to choose. Your blog and the law, SAAS (I still don't know what it stands for) or JPython. All three talks on at the same time... you have to pick one and that's it.

In fairness, this time the schedule didn't change much between talks, but still when there are a few things you want to see at the same time; its a pity.

Ans when there are two separate talks which should have been together. Krishna De and Darren Barefoot have got to do a talk together.

I'll go through my notes myself (not sharing sorry) and I'll have to thank the people who put the whole thing together: Joe Drumgoole (even if he got my name wrong... I'm not Scott), Elly Parker, Paul Walsh, Eoghan McCabe and Paul Browne.

I'd also like to thank whoever left the tab at the bar... there were a lot of sore heads afterwards....

take care,
Will
