How to sponsor BarCamp Brighton

We opened sponsorship for BarCamp Brighton yesterday:

  • There’s now a sponsorship page on the BarCamp wiki
  • Big news is that Nixon McInnes and BT Osmosoft are already on board
  • BarCamp is 100% non-commercial, non-profit and community driven. No one is paid for their time, no one is charged to come and no profits are made. The sponsorship packages represent some of the real costs we face as part of running the event. Like food and drink
  • Mail me on matt at mattweston dot org if you think you might be able
    to sponsor something or know of somebody who might
  • We’ll be making an announcement about ticketing early next week

BarCamp Brighton Logo

A month or so ago we started asking designers to make a logo for BarCamp Brighton, and we’re happy to announce we’ve chosen this one:

BarCamp Brighton logo

by John Cooper of Atomic Shed.

We’d like to say a big thanks to John, and to Jamie, Mark, Mathew, Nick and Paul, who also gave us logos, and especially Simon, who didn’t mind when we wanted to nick an element of his to go in the above logo.

We’ll be making the logo in to some buttons for blogs and sites, and Widgets over the next couple of weeks, but if you want to grab it and build it in to something cool, please go ahead and let us know what you build.

Welcome to BarCamp Brighton’s blog

This blog has been set up to help people keep track of what’s happening with Brighton’s first BarCamp – a grass roots ‘unconference’ where every attendee gives a talk.

BarCamp Brighton is happening on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th September in the offices of Madgex

We’ll be making more announcements on this blog and local mailing lists like the Brighton New Media list soon, covering when ticketing is going to open, logo buttons for blogs, meet ups to help decide on talks, and anything else people want.
