BarCampKC is scheduled for May 9th and 10th in Overland Park, KS.

BarCamp is an international network of user generated conferences — open, participatory workshop-events, whose content is provided by participants — often focusing on early-stage web applications, and related open source technologies, social protocols, and open data formats.

Unlike other BarCamps, BarCampKC will have no actual camping out and all the sessions will be planned the night of the 9th during the meet and greet time.

If you are in the KC area, or want to come even if you aren’t, check out the BarCampKC page or the blog and put your name on the Wiki.

I will be running the audio equipment to record as well as live stream the audio for the Alternageek Tech Show either through TalkShoe or BlogTalkRadio. The links and stream will also be available the day of the event at Alternageek.com
