This last weekend was BarCampDC 2 and from all accounts I’ve heard it sounds like everyone really enjoyed themselves and learned a lot.
The Center for Digital Imaging Arts at Boston University generously donated their space for us to use and boy did we use it. We got about 150 people in there.
We had 5 rooms and at one point 6 rooms with sessions all going at the same time. There were sessions from everything from MySQL Optimization to Juggling to Web Education.
I just want to thank all of you the sponsored, attended, and helped organized. You guys ROCK!! It was you guys that made this event possible. There were so many people who gave in order for this event to happen.
All of this really shows how together we are in our goal of making the DC area one of the most kick ass technology and entrepreneurial centers on the East coast if not the country as a whole.
By the way, check out the awesome article that Kim Hart of the Washington Post wrote about the event. 🙂
So… the question is, when should we have the next one?

Thanks Justin! I had a great time, and I think this was even better than the first. Can’t wait to see how awesome the third one will be.
Great job organizing, guys. Thanks again for all the effort pulling it together.
Justin,
I can’t thank you, Peter, Shaun, John, and the other organizers for organizing it. We all owe you a great deal…. or at least a beer.

Thank you for organizing BarCamp again this year!
The venue was great and we had a good mix of familiar faces and new people.
Looks like 14 votes have been cast. All 14 say BarCampDC3 should happen before June.
I’m all for it. I’m also for the following:
1) Two full days of BarCamp
2) Enough room for 300
