Barcamp #2: Sunday 24 Sept
We have just decided on the location and date for the new Barcamp Brussels:
- WHEN: Sunday Sept 24th 2006 (back to back with EurOSCON, GovCamp and DrupalCON)
- WHERE:
Skynet Lounge, in K-NAL building next to Brussels harbournow in SAP Lounge
As you can guess from the location, Skynet has been confirmed as the principal sponsor again (thx Bart and Clo), which allows us to provide a nice and stimulating surrounding for our speakers/attendees.
Topics will be centered around technology and life: web2.0, social software, webdesign, authentic media (audio/ photo/ video), marketing, entrepreneuring. Speaking slots will be 20 minutes (with 10 minute switch-time per session). As we have learned from edition #1, this is NOT a classical speaking length, it is way shorter! We will have at least 3 simultaneous rooms for presentations. All presentations are in English (as we will have a more international crowd present).
If you want to participate, the first thing you need to do is to add your name to:

Topics listed above is soo excluding “Who? Anyone who is interested in open source software and several related topics”
as listed on the barcampsite.
So my question.. will this be a “Belgian Bloggers Meet” event again .. or a true Technology event trying to move beyond the how to [video/photo][blog/cast] stuff and going to true innovation on topics far beyond Web 2.0 stuff.
I`m really hoping to see the Belgian/European equivalents of Ebay, Google , Hyperic, Alfresco, Qlusters, DimDim , and others.. talking there…

The issue is: if I leave it too open, people ask me all the time for “but what is it about, then”? If I try to give a (far-from-exhaustive) list, others find it too restrictive.
I would like a balance between technical and non-technical topics, between ideas and concrete experiences. When I say “authentic media” I don’t mean “how-to do X in Photoshop”, but at the end of the day I do not create, do or decide on the presentations.
