At BarCampPerth 2.0 stepped up again and presented. This time I wanted to push things a little, well a lot. I didn’t want the standard presentation. What I wanted was something entertaining with a defined takeaway message.
Now I really wanted to focus on an introduction to User Experience. But that can be a very dry and lets be honest, boring topic.
So I opted for a thematic talk following an information journey. The slides are on slideshare. There was a video recorded, so we shall see if it is encoded, if it is, it may give you a better insight than the transcript and slide set.
BarCamp Perth and PodCamp Perth were both a great success. Since then slowly but surely the BarCamp gnomes have been working away under the cover of darkness. So finally we can now can unveil:
BarCamp Perth 2.0.
Yes the BarCamp with all the rounded corners, gradients, starbursts, mirror shadows, and enlarged fonts you’ll ever need!
When: Saturday May 10 2008 9am to 5pm.
Where: Central TAFE, 140 Royal St, East Perth WA 6004
Cost: Free
So go on get cracking, go signup for BarCamp Perth 2.0 you know you want to attend, remember it’s free to all participants.
This is just getting a little bit insane! Yeah Perth has done BarCampPerth, WA Web Awards, WebJam, PodCampPerth, plus all the AWIA mini talks, and now we have few more events to round the year off, just well because we have nothing better to do than have events all the time, or as Myles Eftos suggests learn macrame.
Leading off in date order there is a free ColdFusion mini-conference directed by Adobe CFCamp (27 November 2007, 9am – 4pm), want to learn the latest in ColdFusion, register today.

Yesterday was BarCamp time here in Perth. It brought together not only the usual web industry technical people but also those from the education, interactive media, librarians and students. This was good melting pot of people within related industries which allowed for a full program at the end of the day.
Didn’t get to some of the talks in the morning which is a shame, I missed Scott Barnes‘ Silverlight presentation as we planned for our Web Business Panel. Also missed the Explaining Web 2.0 to “noobs” session, mainly due to the room not being conducive to people sneaking into the room late.
