Barcamp Portugal 2008
This is probably of no interest to the majority of this blog’s audience, so I apologize in advance for cluttering your news feed, but I did want to let the portuguese readers know that we’re now 2 weeks away from Barcamp Portugal 2008! I can’t believe it’s now been 3 years since I was in the Bay Area for the first Barcamp and decided we should play our role in organizing a portuguese edition as well. Now two editions of Barcamp Portugal (2006 and 2007) later, and a third being on the way, we couldn’t be happier about how things are going.
If you are portuguese, or are in or around Portugal on the 6th and 7th of September (that’s in 2 weeks), join us! We have a bunch of surprises lined up for this year’s edition, and things will get hacky and crafty at night – keep an eye out! For more information, go check out the official Barcamp Portugal webpage at barcamppt.org. See you in two weeks!
PS: If you *are* portuguese, there’s more information about the event on my portuguese blog.
Sounds like an event of note. Pity I only came across this now.
Nevertheless, here’s an idea – perhaps it’s already being done – but with so many bloggers already registered perhaps you should look towards launching a portugal blogger awards competition that solicits participation from bloggers and corporates (those that support the power of the social marketplace) alike. The competition could showcase the very best of Portugal’s independent Internet publishing across different categories. Hey, if you need help w/ it, let me know ;-)
I’ll look out for the countless blog reports post event.
