Charles,

Excellent summary of BarCamp. I checked out all the links. I'm sorry I missed Michael Mealling. I haven't seen him for a long time. I even had some interesting presentations I could have done on non-computer related topics (yes I do some things outside of computers) such as knot tying (I used to teach it in the Navy).

Maybe next year,
keith
