“August 5th, 2006 is the date, here in the lovely town of San Francisco, California. The idea is a one day BarCamp-style free conference with a party that night. There will be free BBQ for lunch, WordPress t-shirts, and a full day of both user and developer discussion. (”BarCamp-style” is a code phrase for “last minute.”). There are still a few things to figure out, such as a venue, schedule, and other little things like that.”

Barcamp style conferences are getting very popular nowadays. BarCamp is an ad-hoc unconference that lets people share and learn in an open environment with discussions, demos, and interaction from attendees.
