ArbCamp is an unconference for Ann Arbor geeks of all stripes (tech, art, music, science, biz, etc.), an informal meeting where the schedule is built by its participants. All are invited for an evening of intense knowledge-sharing and community - our goal is to introduce a diverse representation of Ann Arbor's talent to each other and to the unconference format, hopefully to inspire other unconferences in the future. Everyone will be a participant engaged in, or leading discussion - no spectators - so please register your interests below to let others know who might share them!
This will be a fast-paced event with the opportunity to overflow into other social settings downtown for an extended night of geekery.
Let us know what topics you're interested in, and leave your name as the Assignee if you plan to present or lead the discussion. Any topic of potential interest to more than just yourself is worth listing - and even if not, it's still probably worth a shot just to inspire others! Don't bother checking things off, it doesn't mean anything.

I was at the GR BarCamp also and it was a great learning experience. There was not much drupal specific stuff but it was mentioned a few times. There was some good basics on Learn how to play craps games theming and interesting presentation by Google. They had some follow up on the BarCamp mailing list but not much other than that. There was talk about next years BarCamp but no set date. Hopefully ArbCamp will live up to the BarCamp ethos! See ya there

shuffle your feet

before 6:30 PM when we shall entreat
everyone to fill out little Post-ItTM sheets
which will compete
to make our empty schedule grid complete
after which we'll float between seats
as we find sessions that are neat, elite, or offbeat
make friends, liveblog, and Tweet
enjoy libations and other treats
for as long as we can, before we're all back on the street
treading icy concrete
dissipating heat
and trying to stay upbeat
in the dead of Michigan winter... no easy feat!
