Revenge of the Geek Camps

BarCampAmpsterdam

In response to Foo Camp, Bar Camp was formed. It was a huge success and helped influence Webzine 2005 and inspire Web 2.1. Now this unconference “camp” theme has spread overseas with Tech Camp Ireland and BarCampAmsterdam (organized in conjunction with EuroOSCON). There has even been talk of BarCampUK. Continuing on this theme and expanding on the monthly Tag Tuesday events, TagCamp takes place at the end of this month (October 28th & 29th) in Palo Alto.

So, what’s next? MicroformatsCamp? AjaxCamp? GoatseCamp?
