BarCampMiami participants and topics

Bar­Camp­Mi­ami will be held on Feb­ru­ary 28th from 4pm to 8pm, in con­junc­tion with the Future of Web Apps (FOWA) Miami con­fer­ence at the glo­ri­ous Car­ni­val Cen­ter of the per­form­ing arts. Since open­ing the reg­is­tra­tion last week, about 90 peo­ple have signed up. Bar­Camp­Mi­ami atten­dees are enti­tled to 50% off the price of FOWA Miami and the first 100 get a free tshirt. The FOWA coupon code is avail­able upon sign­ing up for Bar­Camp.

What top­ics or ser­vices would you like to see pre­sented? A few days after reg­is­tra­tion was opened, we added a ques­tion to the signup form on what types of top­ics peo­ple would like to see pre­sented. Here are the answers:

1. Ama­zon Web Ser­vices  2. Free and Open Source for Geospatial
