First, a reminder that our second BarCamp meeting is on 19th April at 8pm at The Exchange in central Stroud (Brick Row).
We have had Christian and Dave Crane put forward talks for the night, on VoIP and a comparison of various programming languages and why certain languages are more appropriate for modern tasks, respectively.
We will have these two 10 minute talks – just a concentrated “knowledge injection” for people to investigate further later if they are interested – and a quick “hands on” session with a real life iPad.
Secondly, we’ll be in the new larger meeting room with a not-quite-finished concrete floor, and we’ll be getting in an ~18 pint keg of Stroud Brewery Organic beer, which we are getting at a reduced rate from the very generous Greg Pilley who runs the brewery. We better try not to spill any beer on that floor!
The room will cost us £20 to hire, and the delicious organic beer is going to work out around £25. Richard and I will cover this happily (at least for now!) but donations of a couple of quid from each attendee would be appreciated. If we do end up cash positive, we’ll hold it over to the next event.
As ever, its going to be tricky to judge the numbers until the night, so if you’re late you might find the (in house) beer is all gone until we vacate to the pub.
Thanks in advance – really looking forward to seeing everyone and hopefully some new faces who have said they want to come. This second event will hopefully show us where we want to take BarCamp Stroud on an ongoing basis.
