Barcamp Radio this Friday

by alec on April 16, 2008

I’m working on a new concept for the SquawkBox on Friday, modeled on BarCamp. The idea is pretty simple — we’ll hold a couple of BarCamp sessions (dubbed BarCamp Radio) in place of the regular SquawkBox. Like BarCamp, the only real rule is that there are no rules. Attendees need to lead a session, suggest a session, or participate. That’s all.

The Wiki is up at the BarCamp.org site, and the call is already booked on the iotum Free Conference Call service on Facebook.

AND… Jonathan Jensen has kindly offered to run a session on converged billing. Now I’m looking for one more leader.

See you Friday.
