Another Barcamp sprung up while Amsterdam was still full of coders after Xtech, so that the folk had a place to migrate to, set up their laptops and showed each other the ideas they didn't manage to talk about before.

Let's go camping! but just a wee bit different...

The BarCamp was what happens when a handful of geeks decide they want to do a conference their own way. The result was an open grid for signing up impromptu presentations, breakout sessions popping up in hallways and at the coffee machine, and people setting up a temporary workspace where the writing of their code can be assisted by all kinds of newly met experts.

Everyone was welcome to show up and sign up for a presentational time slot. The Amsterdam Barcamp # 1 was graced by Plazes, Drupal, Bryght, Jabber and AnyMeta.
