Barcamp

The event was the second iteration of Washington's version of BarCamp, a technology workshop meant to demonstrate new business ideas and promote discussion of the top tech issues: social media, open source and how to actually make money, to name a few.

BarCamps are held throughout the world as workshop-style events open to anyone who wants to participate and is willing to share content and information on the BarCamp wiki site. The earliest BarCamps focused on web applications through open-sourced technologies and open data formats.
