BarCampLA 8 update – (postponed)

We hate to do this, and more so are sorry about the late notice, but BarCampLA 8 is going to be postponed a couple months.
We’re looking at the possibility of January, we’re just making sure we can find a date with the least amount of conflicts that makes sense.
But I’m sure what you’d all really like to know is, “Why is BarCamp postponed?”
There are a lot of reasons, the big ones currently being resources, economy, and time. When it comes to us, the organizers, it’s been an
interesting time of year. I myself have been slaving away on work and projects to pay my bills. In addition, im currently in the middle of
moving to a new…

We <3 our Sponsors!!!

Howdy BarCampers!
We’re just 24 hours or so away from the awesomeness that will be BarCamp LA 7! We wanted to take this post to tell you about our sponsors, who have helped to make this upcoming BarCamp ROCK!!!
First off, we’d like to thank our venue sponsor, OTX Research, who have lended us a really cool venue that we think you’ll really like. Good space, great rooms for talks, we think you’ll love it!
Our Media Sponsor is TechZulu, SoCal’s favorite news source for all the latest on the pulse of the LA Tech Scene! They’ll be on site getting some great BarCampLA content!
Top Level sponsor’s include:

Microsoft (who provided our event insurance, whoo-hoo!)
DreamHost – Great Web…

The Saturday Set-Up Crew

Hey BarCampers! Looking forward to this weekend? We are!
Because there are drinks to be iced, breakfast to be arranged, cars to be unloaded, signs to be made and hung, chairs to distribute and so much more, we need a crew of people to show up and help us out.
For the early birds, we’ll provide some food and sweet, glorious coffee. One of the added bonuses of doing this is that you’ll get to know a few people a little better before the Camp starts. So if you’re new to BarCamp, this could be a great way to ease yourself into getting to know people.
It’s also an easy way of contributing if you’re feeling too shy to do…

BarCampLA 7: We haz a venue!

We’ve crossed most of the T’s and dotted most of the I’s, and can finally announce BarCampLA 7’s sweet venue…
OTX Research
10567 Jefferson Blvd
Culver City, CA 90232
Much like our past two venues (sadly), we won’t be able to camp overnight this time… but we’ve got enough conference rooms for the talks and dedicated hang-out space outside of those conference rooms! Yes, that means Track 1 folks won’t have to shout over background conversation. :)
We’ve also got a couple of photos of the venue so you can get an idea of what it’ll be like.
Be sure to sign-up and list your talk on the wiki (and Facebook or Upcoming).
And if you’d like to sponsor us,…
