BarCamp Perth

It was good, it just had a buzz, I just can’t explain why (and no it was not the over­dose of caf­feine). It is what hap­pens when you get over 60 geeks together learn­ing from each other.

Spon­sor of the day Five Senses Cof­fee, and the hard work of Jordan Brock was very much appre­ci­ated, every Bar­Camp and (un)conference should have it’s own barista and top flight cof­fee. Kudos to Microsoft for after decid­ing that com­munity mat­ters, not going over the top, the beer from Bill was also appre­ci­ated Scott.

Should of been spon­sors Twit­ter, for the num­ber of men­tions they got dur­ing present­a­tions, the amount of bar­camp twit­ter­ing and that Bar­Camp Perth was so suc­cess­ful because of twit­ter. Three, I tend to evan­gel­ise Three’s X-series and being the Aus­tralian tele­com­mu­nic­a­tions com­pany that at the moment best gets the mobile web. I was not the only one at this Bar­Camp, dur­ing my present­a­tion I was talk­ing about the fall­ing cost of mobile data and I was reminded by another par­ti­cipant of the X-series and their data rates.

Any future spon­sor of Bar­Camps in Perth, the audi­ence is very tech savy, over half my audi­ence had browsed the web on their mobiles and it was the highest ratio of apple laptops I have ever seen.
