A few co-conspirators and I want to hold a BarCamp on Sunday, October 25th, the day after the SPJ regional conference at the University of Oregon . For those who have never attended one, a BarCamp is an “ ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment .” In short, if you think you have something to teach you can throw it in to the mix. If you’re there to learn, then you have a whole number of knowledgeable people as teachers for a variety of topics.
