<br>goals with this whole event is to simply get to talk to people we<br>wouldn't normally get a chance to meet up with. So the fact that it's<br>not affiliated with any project management, business analyst, java,
<br>linux, .NET, etc group will hopefully make this happen. Also,<br>attending and presenting or helping to present is not as big of a<br>commitment as it might sound. A presentation might be just a couple<br>or a few people gathering around a laptop and talking about some piece
<br>of network analysis software you're learning how to use. Or it might<br>be a group of people with mixed backgrounds in QA, BA, programming and<br>operations backgrounds gathering at a table and talking about a better
<br>way to do requirements gathering. As long as you have an open mind<br>and want to offer things to the conversation, BarCamp is for you.<br>Hope to see you there. -- Matt<br><br>On 8/4/07, Chris K. <<a href="mailto:lister@kulish.com">
