We’d love to see our LA BarCamper’s come out with us and join in on what looks to be an amazing night of fun and festivities! To save you a little bit of scratch, (that’s cash, moola, greenbacks, etc for the rest of you), use the special BarCamp code of ‘DFR03′ when you buy your tickets, and you’ll save $20 off the ticket price. The DFR is helping to set an engagement platform to advance the conversation Howdy Campers! Digital Family Reunion is bringing all of the LA Tech/Business/Media scene together next month, for a nice holiday

BarCamp LA is in need of a few helping hands Saturday morning before things get started to help us set up chairs and prep a few things before the festivities begin! We also have a limited number of Barcamp LA shirts this year, so early helpers will get first dibs on their shirts. :-) If you’d like to lend a hand, Please meet us at Mahalo / Causecast HQ, 902 Colorado Ave. Howdy Campers and Camperettes! Santa Monica, CA 90401 , Saturday Morning, at 9am!

The number of ways that Crystal has helped the Los Angeles tech scene grow are a little hard for me to recap. 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 ландшафт Jeremy Kitchen are tentatively ready to rock your faces off. So our very own Crystal Williams is leaving LA for greener pastures — and by “greener pastures”, I mean Seattle… ;)  That’s

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!!! So while enjoying your BarCamp fun this weekend, if you happen to see or meet any of these great sponsors, make sure to tell them thanks for helping make BarCamp happen!!! ...Tags: 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.

We aren’t sure exactly what they did, but it sounds like they helped startups get funded or throw parties or something. Organizing the first Barcamp event is a good thing, but I don’t have much patience for you when you attack me after I explain the emotional turmoil of 4-year startup that crashed and burned. Don’t know John Pratt ? Don’t worry, we didn’t either until today when he opened up a little bitchfest on the BarCampLA Google group .

Hey BarCampers! 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. So if you’re new to BarCamp, this could be a great way to ease yourself into getting to know people. Looking forward to this weekend? We are!

Another BarCamp means another t-shirt.  Wanna If you want to guarantee you get your size, show up early and help us set up next Saturday. ;) Wanna sneak peek?  Of Of course you do: Our pals over at Oddica  put us in touch with a printer who cut us a really sweet deal â€” so there’ll be plenty of shirts for everyone.  Still,

The gathering is a community-based approach, similar to that of BarCamp, aimed at assisting like-minded professionals in re-establishing themselves in the job market via panels, workshops and networking. LaidOffCamp is a barcamp (community-driven conference) where people that are currently unemployed get together to help one another through workshops, panels and discussions on everything from employment strategies, building personal brand, striking out on your own to coping with unemployment stress and finding a co-working space. The first national LaidOffCamp was held on March 3, 2009 in SF and attracted more than 400 attendees.

The Google Maps link above should hopefully help clarify directions for most of you. So please get there early, enjoy the food and the company and help us get started on time. BarCamp After Hours Every Every time we do a BarCamp, more people end up sleeping over. We’ve got a few days to go before BarCampLA-5 happens and Crystal and I thought we’d share a few things with everyone before the festivities kick off. Location
