Today was really an amazing day. BarCamp DC went so well. It was a HUGE event for us, the tech community, and for the city of Washington DC. I’m so excited to see what’s going to come from the event in the weeks to come.

BarCamp DC was a complete success. We really couldn’t have done with out so many people who helped out and sponsored the event. BarCamp is really a team effort.

Everyone I talked to wanted to know when the next event was going to be and how they could help to take the event to the next level. That rocks!! If you do have comments on the event, put a comment in this post or send me an email.

Expect more thoughtful analysis of BarCamp DC soon but I wanted to shoot off a post before I sign off for the night.

Well the day that every Washington DC geek has waited for has finally arrived.  No Apple isn’t launching a product today.  It’s the day of BarCamp DC.

I’m excited.  I really have no idea what to expect.  The BarCamp I organized in Rochester was never this big.

Keep your eyes on my blog.  I’ll be posting up session notes and photos throughout the day.

As Jackson mentioned, BarCamp DC is fast approaching. It’s only 10 days away. We’re all really excited about it. We’ve been working hard to make sure it happens as smoothly as possible.

Here are some updates since my last post.

• We’re up to 16 sponsors. Organizations like Microsoft, the AOL Developers Network, Digital Phenom, Casey Software, and the Sunlight Foundation have recently joined on.
• While it’s too late to get on the commemorative BarCamp DC t-shirt, it is not too late to be a sponsor. If you’re interested, drop me a line immediately.
• That’s right the t-shirts have been ordered. They’re going to look great!
• We’ve reach our capacity with attendance with 110 people. We’re wittiling down the list to make sure that everyone who is signed up is actually coming. We want to squeeze in as many people as possible. In the mean time, there is a growing waiting list to get into the event.
• We’re currently in the process of arranging breakfast and snacks. Lunch is going to be provided by the AOL Developer’s Network.
• We’re trying to work out taping many if not all of the sessions and then podcasting them later. If you ‘re interested in helping with this, either by doing the taping or donating equipment, please email me immediately.
• Also…we’re working on a surprise or two. *evil grin* :-p

I look forward to meeting each and every one of you there! See you in 10 days.

The organizers for BarCamp DC have been quite quite busy. Ever since announcing the date change we have been furiously working to nail down a venue.

Today, we’re proud to announce that Fleishman-Hillard has agreed to host the event. We’re very excited that they’re helping us make this event happen. They have a great location at 1615 L St NW in downtown Washington, DC. It’s very accessible from the Farragut North (red), Farragut West (blue/orange), and McPherson Square (blue/orange) Metro stops.

There are many other sponsors who’ve joined the BarCamp DC team like 200 OK LLC, Clearspring Technologies, Inc., Culture Captioning, Jounce, nclud, SET Consulting LLC, and Viget Labs.

We hope to be able to announce even more sponsors soon.

If you’re looking for an easy way to stay in touch with what’s happening at BarCamp DC (other than the Google Group), we have just launched a Twitter page for the event.

If you want to attend the event, make sure that you sign-up on the wiki. If you have signed up on the wiki, please add your t-shirt size to your name. We are working to have free t-shirts for everyone.

More BarCamp DC announcements coming soon…
