This is what bloggers had to say about Saturday’s BarCamp DC:
“If anything, I think it was too full — or too short. There were so many great topics to cover and good people to lead discussions, I felt like we could have filled 3 days.”
“Not since the heyday of Netpreneur have there been so many people in one DC room so excited about what’s happening online. This was evidenced by the high level of conversation, the community-willingness to share, and the pure geekery of the attendees (everywhere I turned were MacBooks, iPhones, live bloggers, and people uploading photos to Flickr).”
“There were so many interested attendees that many had to be turned away at the door. Wow! I guess the DC tech community has been secretly yearning for a BarCamp to pop up in the area… I had a blast at BarCamp DC and can’t wait until they hold another one (I think I heard the next one would be in January), hopefully in a bigger space. I already know what my next topic will be.”
Jesse Thomas – “BarCampDC was awesome!!!”
“This weekend at the downtown offices of Fleishman Hillard, 100 or so geeks gathered for BarCamp to talk about matters technological. I know what you’re thinking already, “Geeks, inside on a weekend? Shocking!” But it’s more than that. So many things are happening on the web these days, the advent of the true mobile web, the adoption of portable identities, people creating content and sharing, and a lot of that is happening here in our backyard as well as out on the west coast.”
“Attended my first (as well as DC’s first) BarCamp. It was an awesome experience. Not only did I learn a lot, but I met a great crowd of people. It was fascinating to discover a small but thriving community of similar web-heads…”
“This weekend, Jesse and I attended the [first?] BarCamp held in DC. Met some super cool people, learned some very useful things (namely, at the: Google Analytics session, the widget session a la Clearspring and the Grids/systems session)… “
Nguyet –
“Overall, there were about 118 people attended. It was intimate. I’m proud to say that 200 OK were one of the sponsors…”
To celebrate our success, a bunch of went to get Maryland crabs for lunch today.

I still can’t believe we pulled it off so well… too bad I don’t eat crab 😉
Congrats on a job well done.
I had fun even when I was running around getting breajfast ready. I would even do the food thing again if need be.
thanks,

I had a blast at BarCamp and I’m glad I made the trip down. Next time I’ll try and plan my flight a little earlier so it doesn’t cost so much though.
And yes, watching you guys bust into those crabs was a good way to end a great weekend.
We did it, buddy. One BarCamp down, how many more to go?
