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.
Alec Saunders is the Vice President of Developer Relations for BlackBerry make Research in Motion. This is his personal blog, with his personal viewpoints. Prior to this Alec was the CEO and co-founder of Calliflower — the easiest way to hold a meeting, online, on a conference call, or on the go. A double-decade veteran of product management and marketing, he spent nine years at Microsoft where he helped launch Windows 95, the first two versions of Internet Explorer, the Universal Plug and Play initiative, the push into home markets, opt-in email marketing and what might well go down in history as the very first direct email list ever.
