Jon Hill has produced what I consider a most excellent wrap-up of BarCampRDU for WCHL 1360. You can take a listen here (direct mp3 link). This also nicely follows Rick Smith’s wrapup coverage of BarCampRDU on the Tech Wire. I’ve had a great time reading the coverage of the event; interestingly, BarCampRDU was such a blogosphere phenomenon we actually hit TechMeme this morning.
If you’re thinking about hosting a BarCamp, by all means do it. They are a lot of fun and worth the work. Once the team gets back together and debriefs we’ll have some more advice to share. The great thing about BarCamps (and unconferences in general), as noticed by Terrell, is the remarkable ability of the crowd to adapt. So don’t worry too much about planning and perfection – just go out there and start working on your BarCamp. I’ve already got my eye on one in Charlottesville, VA – maybe a carload of us can head up for a weekend in that fantastic town.
