Barcamp Auckland ‘07
December 17th 2 comments
Well that was excellent!
Saturday saw the first ever Auckland Barcamp. It was organised by Ludwig Wendzich - a high school student and all round awesome young man! (South African, too!)
Having never attended an unconference I didn’t really know what to expect. I can tell you now I was very pleasantly surprised! I love the fact that it’s an event that allowed everyone to be involved. It’s less one way and more of a discussion. There were plenty of people gagging to present about a number of different things. These are the talks I attended:
- The Future of the Web
- Catch up on the state of digital tv in NZ
- DIY CSS Frameworks: A conversation on CSS design patterns
- Spaghetti or Meatball: a discussion on the BarCamp Tshirt Design Process
- Charles
There was also a fair bit of ‘hallway discussion’ which is the heart of an unconference.
It was an excellent day and it was great to bond with about 75 other like minded people! I cant wait for the next one! And the next one is rumoured to be a sleep-over, too!

I was here and got lost in the geek-speak but enjoyed my visit none-the-less.
