There will be some big changes.
During the barcamp part of the last edition, we've noticed we couldn't fill a whole afternoon with your talks. The talks were good, but there weren't enough talks.
This year we will drop the barcamp part, instead we'll do a call for papers. We will keep the two parallel tracks, one for the beginners and one for the more advanced coding.
So, all you mateys who have some genius to share, let us know! Simply send an email to talks@arrrrcamp.be with a subject and if it will be a beginner or an advenced track.
Already 35 mateys signed up for the event, hurry and do the same
What / When
ArrrrCamp takes place in Ghent, on Friday, April 30th starting at 13h, and lasting till late...
ArrrrCamp focusses on ...
- ...showcasing the strengths and possibilities of ruby, rails, radiant or derivates to interested people.
- ...organizing a meetup for ruby, rails, radiant and derivates-users, so mail us your talk
Concerning the barcamp/lightning talks: the language of the presentation can be English, Dutch or French. We urge the speakers to use their mothertongue, but you may want to stick to a slower speaking rate.
Attending
We have reserved a part of the conference centre at the Zebrastraat in Ghent, where we have 2 rooms, a bar, chairs, projector, and some internet access.
Attending is free! Already 35 mateys signed up. Currently, we have reserved drinks and food for up to 50 people, so be quick if you want to join in.
Sponsoring
We want it to be as open as possible; so are the bills and who will pay for them. Some things have been arranged and has been payed for, but there are a lot that still can be done. Most of it will require some money to be donated; but you might think of other.
Openminds and Gorilla will sponsor the Conference room, and will put effort and money in this event. The kind primates at Gorilla webdesign are co-organisers of Arrrrcamp and will also pay for a part. The kind people at Potatofactory already suggested to sponsor the rum!
There is a bar, where we would like to serve free drinks, if we find enough sponsors.
