And unfortunately also the only day for me because I can’t be there tomorrow. Which is especially stupid because I’m very interested in the talk about broadband 2.0 by Alexander List.

Well. It was my first barcamp so I presented a topic: mercurial. Good: There was at least one person in the audience that considers switching and I hope I whetted appetite to the others too, Bad: the talk was badly organized IMO, hope I will do better the next time. But now to the positive aspects of the day.

I think the main reason why people go to barcamps are not the talks, but the possibility to meet people with similar interests and share experiences and knowledge. I meet a couple people there I didn’t know before or only from IRC/Jabber/whatever and he have a couple of great discussions, especially about the currently problematic political situation here in Austria. And despite what I noticed in the past there are several groups operating here that try to fix the situation here.

I’ll hopefully blog a bit about it more soon :-)
