Ah, those Hollywood sequels… Here’s one you really don’t want to miss. It’s hard to believe it, but BarCamp Los Angeles #3 is upon us in just six short days from now. The organizer team (including moi) has been working hard on this one, so break out of your SXSW hangovers and come join us!

We’ve once again got the fabulous Little Radio Warehouse for a venue, a whole pile of fantastic sponsors, and the session topics that have already been posted look fantastic. More than worth a two hour train ride up from San Diego (and close enough to cab it from Union Station).

Details:
March 24-25, 2007.
Begins 10am, March 24 and rolling right on through 7pm on March 25.

Little Radio Warehouse
1218 Long Beach Ave
Los Angeles, California 90021

I’ll be presenting either:
a) “What’s the big deal about Microformats?”
b) Simplifying everything from planning to project management with wikis – Tips, tools, and conversion stories. Free yourself from email!
c) Theming for Content Management Systems -Wordpress Tips and Tricks (Round 2)

Feel free to leave a comment on which you’d like to see from me.

And for all of you who are still not sure what a barcamp is, here’s my description:

Barcamp is a small, informal conference where people from different backgrounds and levels of expertise get together for knowledge transfer, networking, and just general geeking out. Since all attendees are expected to present a session, there is no line between “experts” and “spectators”. Every person there is expected to be an active participant, based on the idea that we all have something to contribute.

While the original idea sprung out of the tech community, this is by no means a tech-only event. Any thoughtful, well-prepared sessions will be appreciated. Originally started in August 2005, over a hundred BarCamps have now been held all over the world. This is the third BarCamp for Los Angeles. More questions? Check out the numerous videos, articles, and pictures linked off of http://barcamp.org.

Now go add yourself to the wiki! Hope to see you there.
