Just set this up (January 11th) so that we can add more info about the event and allow everyone to add themselves and write down an idea of what they'd like to talk about.

Despite this wiki, we still ask that you if you want to have a chance at getting a t-shirt for the event.

A lot of people in the design community have never been to a Barcamp so I think its only fitting to explain a bit about what a Barcamp is and how it is run. You'll find that it is a lot of fun, and can lead to some very interesting discussions and networking opprotunities. People come from all over to join in the free events know as Barcamps, or any variation of -xyz-Camp.

What is a BarCamp?

BarCamp is what we call in the tech world an 'unconference'. Why? Because there is no set discussion topics or schedule of events until the attendees show up the morning of the event. This leads to a variety of talks, and an all around good experience for the whole group. There is generally 2 or 3 talks going on at the same time so that people can pick and choose the topics they want to listen too. Yes occationally you will want to see two talks that are happening at the same time, but thats just the way things fall sometimes.

Proposed Shirt Design

Design Camp specifically is going to be organized with two tracks. Two large rooms with stadium seating separated by a forum area for open discussions. Below you will find a list of the currently proposed talks that will be given in blocks of 30 minutes of which you are welcome to ratio as much as you'd like to your presentation and your Q&A sections. Its up to you how you use your 30 minutes, and its not unheard of that someone could give two presentations in a day.

If you would like to present a topic, and I highly encourage you to do so if you have not been to this type of event before, then please add your topic to the list below with the title, your name, your company, and you can link to your site if you'd like. If you've never used a wiki like this before then you can follow some of the links at the bottom of the page to get you started. Its a snap!

I hope to see you hear and I can't wait to listen to any of your presentations!
