RefreshBCS

Well, I’ve been talking about it long enough. It’s time we start planning BarCampBCS. We’ll use the wiki over at barcamp.org and sign up. The password for the wiki is “c4mp”. We’ll be planning the event in a couple of weeks and announcing the logo/schedule/etc. BarCamps can be a lot of work, or a little bit of work. It all depends on how things come together. That’s all that’s known so far, but I’ll announce more later :). Here’s a couple of videos for you to check out, if you’ve never experienced a BarCamp.

Date: Wednesday, July 11, 2007
When: 7:00PM
Where: La Salle Hotel, Downtown Bryan

RefreshBCS is proud to announce that Whurley will be visiting Bryan/College Station on Wednesday, July 11th at 7PM at the La Salle Hotel located in downtown Bryan. He will be talking about technology, open source software, and how the open-source philosophy applies to the way we live and work. This should be lighter on technical things, and heavier on culture and creativeness. You don’t have to be a software developer to understand what Whurley will be talking about.
