[ale] OT: Barcamp in Atlanta ((+ Alabama LUG Fest )+ ALE-UbuntuInstall Fest))

[Charles Shapiro]

Barcamps started out from O'Reilly, so they're strongly influenced by the
linux/OSS community.
But other groups have started to take up the idea as well -- I've seen
notices for camps clearly aimed at photographers or other artistst, for
example.  I dunno about having to download videos. There don't appear to be
any on the
WikiPedia entry ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp ) or on the BarCamp
wiki RulesOfBarCamp page ( http://barcamp.org/TheRulesOfBarCamp ).  I don't
see any videos on the Alabama LUGFest page either. Perhaps I am merely
confused.

I was peripherally involved in early discussions about the Atlanta BarCamp.
Far's I know it's gonna be general programming stuff, probably mostly but
not exclusively OSS.
