Oh Byes and Oh Hais
So our very own Crystal Williams is leaving LA for greener pastures — and by “greener pastures”, I mean Seattle… ;)
The number of ways that Crystal has helped the Los Angeles tech scene grow are a little hard for me to recap. That’s mostly due to sheer numbers tho. I also don’t feel like I can really begin to do them justice. Everybody who has been in the BarCampLA community the past couple years tho should already have a pretty good idea. She has been seriously passionate about bringing great events to great people — and I think that shows.
It should also say a lot that three people are stepping in to help plan the next BarCampLA. And even tho they’re newcomers to BarCamp planning, Chris Darbro, Bronwyn Lewis and ландшафтJeremy Kitchen are tentatively ready to rock your faces off. Like you guys have no idea the stuff we have percolating for BarCampLA-6. But we’ll have to get a little closer to September/October before we can talk about that.
Still, Crystal is seriously going to be missed around these parts — and by more than just me, I’m sure. So go give her some love and say your goodbyes, LA.






Crystal Williams Says:
Ack, *I* have no idea what you guys are up to for BarCampLA-6! But I’ll sure as hell be there!
Thanks so much, Jason, and everyone who’s made this a community worth being passionate about and working hard for. I could never have asked for better friends and conspirators. Through BarCampLA, I’ve found so many people to be inspired by.
I can’t wait to see where some fresh minds on this take the BarCampLA train next, but I’m sure it’ll be great.
Viva Los Angeles!
