As always, I'm a bit late posting this, but I'll do it anyway.

WeBreakStuff / Fred Oliveira is organizing the local event for the BarCamp Earth which will happen next August 25th and 26th September 2nd and 3rd. The venue is still to be announced, but they're aiming at Coimbra.

First of all, what is a BarCamp?

A BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.

And a little description of what BarCamp Earth is all about:

Was BarCampWorldwide – now, BarCampEarth – a simultaneous compendium of Barcamps around the world to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the first-ever BarCamp taking place August 26-28, 2006.

So, with all that being said, I take this opportunity to invite all my readers (all three of you, counting myself) to come by and join us. You've always been trying to find a reason to come to Portugal, now you have it! Steve?

I'm still not sure if I'll be making any presentation, specially since I don't feel qualified to talk about any particular subject – most of them seem to be standards-aware already. What can I possibly have to offer? If I end up finishing up a personal project – in development since last summer – I might end up doing some sort of demo of it, to get feedback, opinions and share the experience of building it.

What I am sure is that it's going to be a great experience for any person interested in technology.

So go on, write yourself in, join the mailing-list at Google Groups and see you there!
