Never heard of a bar camp? A quick intro:
BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants.
On a special note, we have some big news for you santa cruz / san jose / monterey / san francisco freelancers: a new co-working space is about to open in Santa Cruz called NextSpace, Coworking + Innovation. We should see it come to life around the time of the event and we couldn't be more excited.
