<DIV dir=ltr>
<DIV>I spent Saturday at a Bar Camp in Bath, United Kingdom. It was called BathCamp.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you haven't yet come across BarCamp, it's a 24 hour unconference for people in the tech community: not just web developers, but everyone working in the online world. In some ways it's very much like an Open Space event (or Open Space Technology meeting or whatever wording you prefer). And in some ways it's different. I went to BathCamp to experience the difference.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A few links before I continue:</DIV>

<DIV>Unconferences - <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference" target=_blank>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference</A></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.jackmartinleith.com/?p=1237" target=_blank>www.jackmartinleith.com/?p=1237</A> is a brief report of my experience.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As I say in the article, I intend to write more later about what BarCamp can learn from Open Space, and vice versa. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The main thing I learnt is that BarCamps are not the mechanistic gatherings I'd been led to believe. BathCamp was one of the most enjoyable gatherings I've taken part in since OT12 (12th conference on organisation transformation) at Gaunts House, UK, way back in 1994. The spirit and sense of community were outstanding.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Has anyone else on the list experienced both Open Space and BarCamp?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm curious to know if BathCamp was an exception, or "the rule".</DIV>
