BarcampDC2 was this past Saturday. It was an amazing day with a number of great sessions.
Thanks to all the sponsors for making it possible, and CDIA for hosting. The volunteer organizers, primarily Justin, Shaun, Peter, and John, deserve an infinite amount of praise. The DC community has grown by leaps and bounds in the past year, and were it not for the efforts of people like you, we would not be where we are today, myself included. So thank you. I had attended the first planning meeting, but unfortunately I was unable to attend any others or contribute any time, and I’m sorry for that.
Leslie, Bill, and myself gave a presentation on our awesome work for C-SPAN, through our respective companies New Media Strategies and JESS3. We received great feedback, and high praise for our work throughout the rest of the day. I chose to speak on how I leveraged the codebase in a number of open source projects to turn around each of these complex and high-performing sites in a week (no, I was not kidding), and people kept on coming up to me, shocked that I was able to do that 🙂 . Slides will be posted soon.
I copied the schedule to the wiki so people can post notes and links for the sessions.
You were able to do that because you’re the man Zband!

Dude, thanks again for coming to BarCampDC and for all of your support. Glad to hear that you had a good time and I’m bummed I wasn’t able to hear more of your C-SPAN talk. I heard a lot of people mention it as a favorite.
Hey, we’re going to both be in LA for BarCampLA. We need to chat and meet up or something. It’d rock to show them how we rock out in DC.
Thanks all!
Justin, you are the man. Unfortunately I won’t be at BarcampLA, but enjoy!
