It’s THIS Saturday! And I don’t even have my talk prepared yet! Here’s the critical info:
- January 16th and 17th
- Intuit, Santa Fe Campus in Carmel Valley
- our wiki
If you’d like to help out – show up around 8:30 am to help the planners unload and setup.
Some tips for those of you for whom this is not news:
- If you’re speaking rehearse your talk. It helps!
- If you’re not done with your talk, don’t wait until the last minute!
- Bring cameras, video recorders, audio recorders, etc. – people love having their talks recorded.
- New to barcamp? Search Flickr, Yahoo or Google for “barcampsd”!
- Not sure what to talk about? Have a peek at this.
Thats it!
See you all Saturday!

After running 7 barcamp networks (2 in LA, 5 in SD) I’ve learned a ton:
- ‘end user’ or ‘home’ wifi gear doesnt work. No matter how awesome you think it is. It just never ever cuts it.
- 2.4ghz is the devil
- you need at LEAST 5-10 megabits of connectivity, preferably with the ability to burst up higher.
- OpenDNS = fail
- Spend the extra money/time/etc and get mesh wireless from a reputable vendor (cisco/aruba/xirrus etc). It will make your life way way easier.
I’ve banged out a quick writeup on the BarCamp San Diego 5 wifi network over on thaumatocracy.com – so if you’re a wifidork or have any interest in how the network was run, pop on by!
