Want to help with BarCamp Brighton 4?

April 7th, 2009

We’re hoping the next BarCamp Brighton will happen on the 5th & 6th September 2009, the weekend after the dConstruct conference.

If you’d like to help with BarCamp Brighton 4 please come to the planning meeting at the Earth and Stars pub on Tuesday 5th May at 8pm. We’ll probably be upstairs.

We’ll be talking about:

  • Debriefing from BarCampBrighton 3
  • Ideas to improve BarCampBrighton
  • Solidifying plans for BarCampBrighton 4

The organisers roles are not set yet so if you’d like to help put on a BarCamp, this is your chance! Please come along and volunteer.

If you can’t make the meeting but want to be involved, please join up to the BarCamp Brighton Google Group and let us know.

Geek Yoga

September 5th, 2008

Perhaps a BarCamp first, certainly a BarCampBrighton first – Geek Yoga. We will be having yoga sessions on Sunday afternoon being run by Jenny.

Times of sessions are:

13:45 – 14:15
14:30 – 15:00
15:30 – 16:00
It will be quite gentle as she is aware most people will be in jeans and t-shirts.  It will focus on shoulders, wrists, stretching and breathing exercises – all the problem area for those who spend far too much time hunched over a keyboard.

Jenny will bring a few mats, but it would be good if you can bring their own – you might already be bringing one to sleep on anyway….

Projectors and screens

September 2nd, 2008

So, its nearly BarCamp and we’re running round getting all the equipment sorted. We’d like to thank SCIP for helping us out at short notice with some of the projectors and screens we’ve been looking for.

We’re still searching for two more projectors and another screen at the moment, so if you think you might be able to lend us one for the weekend, please get in touch (send an email to bcb2 [at] googlegroups [dot] com).

Don’t forget your lanyards and badge wallets

September 1st, 2008

When you come to register we will have printed a badge for you, but we won’t have lanyards or badge wallets. Displaying your badge at all times is essential for security, so can we ask you bring along an old lanyard and badge wallet from another event. If you are going to dconstruct bring your lanyards and badge from there.

Just in case you have not heard the term before, a “lanyard” is the event industry name for the ribbon used to suspend your badge from.
