BarCampSydney

Big ups to Alan who has thrown some cash behind the bar so we can all have a post BarCamp beer (or house wine).

Cheers Alan and the babes at Milkooler

Congratulations to Alan James for being the 101st person to RSVP on the wiki. (Rhandy was actually number 100, but since he was from Tangler, I disqualified him to avoid bias). Woohooo!!

An important number since their are only 100 free shirts. First 100 to get there on Saturday who are ON the RSVP list get a shirt - if your not on the list, no shirt!

An important day today too. More sponsors. Freshview and Linux Australia (I don’t know how an open source community has dosh, but I’m not arguing). Plus, I got to see the venue for post-barcamp-bar work. The Point Hotel Margot Lounge. Bit of a walk, but good location.

It’s all happening.

One of the things we were worried about was wireless. But now UnWired have come to the rescue. They’re supplying BarCampSydney with wireless for the event. Wohoo Unwired! So, as a recap. We’ve got the venue to supply a computer with net access in each room. And we’ve got wireless now for the area. No reason not to blog and podcast your way through the event! hehe

Here are some wonderful companies who have put their hand up to possibly sponsor the BarCampSydney event:

• A yet unconfirmed sponsor, and…
• Jason Yip of ThougtWorks
• Scott Farquhar of Atlassian
