I'm really excited that BarCamp has FINALLY come to Atlanta! It feels great to have the unconference flavor in my own backyard for a change rather then have to fly elsewhere to be amongst my peeps!
So far, I've attended two sessions: one on OpenID, and the current one on the technical ramifications of privatized space travel. Dave Coustan is currently in another room giving a talk on creating corporate blogs that doesn't suck, a topic of which he has much experience. :)
During dinner, (which was on the roof of ATDC's parking garage) I spotted someone with an XO laptop, which is the computer created for the One Laptop Per Child Project. A mob of us convinced him to give a demo tomorrow. Totally excited about that!
I've signed up to facilitate a session tomorrow I've titled The Future of Democracy: Social Software, Law, Gaming, UI Design, and You. In typical Barcamp fashion, I have nothing prepared for it yet.
I may also be co-facilitating a session on Social Network Portability in the morning. We'll likely be cannibalizing presentations given this past week at the Graphing Social Patterns Conference. Ad-hoc presentations are the best!
Here's the Flickr page for the BarCamp Atlanta photo pool that I'm posting photos to.
