Tomorrow is Saturday June 27th and it’s time for another Sydney BarCamp to be held at the Australian Technology Park in Redfern, Sydney.

So what’s a BarCamp?

“BarCamp is an intense community event with discussions, demos and interaction from attendees,” It’s community members say.

“Anyone with something to contribute or with the desire to learn is welcome and invited to participate.”

Usual discussions at the event:

The usual discussions at the event include:

  • Comparing startups in San Fransisco to Australia and whether startups should accept funding;
  • Coding and hacking;
  • The latest internet technology; and
  • The most randomness thing you won’t even think will be talked about.

Almost 200 people have registered for the latest Sydney BarCamp, with previous ones seeing more than 100 people show up; sponsors even put in some money for food and drink.

“There’s something for everyone,” said un-organiser Jean-Jacques Halans at the last one.

“The things we talk about here touch on everyone’s life; everyone uses the internet”
