BarCampMiami recap, thanks and memories

Bar­Camp­Mi­ami came and left us some great mem­o­ries. David Parmet and Michael Tange­man wrote up sum­maries; here are my Flickr pho­tos tagged BarCampMiami08 and unbe­knownst to me, Michael recorded a video of the intro­duc­tion to BarCamp:

Thanks in no small part to the Future of Web Apps con­fer­ence and to the Refresh­Mi­ami group, close to 300 peo­ple par­tic­i­pated in Bar­Camp­Mi­ami. Over 35 pre­sen­ta­tions were given, includ­ing a sneak pre­view of Kevin Marks’ Open Social pre­sen­ta­tion the next day at FOWA.

We have Nick Dominguez, Michael Mont­gomery, Chris Say­lor, Brian Bres­lin and dearYvette to thank for help­ing orga­nize our event. The folks at the Adri­enne Arsht Cen­ter of the Per­form­ing Arts were most help­ful by allow­ing us to stay past clos­ing hours and by lend­ing us extra rooms. A spe­cial shout out goes to Mel Kirk and Ryan Car­son at Car­son­i­fied, who gra­ciously invited Bar­Camp­Mi­ami in their venue for FOWA.

Most of all, we have all the par­tic­i­pants to thank, who made this such a rich expe­ri­ence. The par­tic­i­pants run Bar­Camp and they made this one great.
