I just posted a story about BarCamp Austin III over on Austinist.

BarCamp is more accurately called an “unconference”: Every part of the gathering, from the schedule to the content to the communications, is worked out by the participants. Rather than passively receiving information like at traditional conferences, people at BarCamp are asked to actively participate, either by presenting something they’re interested in, or by just helping set up and organize the rooms.

I had a great time talking with whurley and Richard Goodwin, two of the driving forces behind this year’s event. BarCamp Austin is set for Friday and Saturday at GSD&M Idea City. I hope to see you there!
