  • Directions from the shuttle stop: head back towards Rt 1 (i.e. away from the Big M). You'll pass the Math and Engineering (Glenn L Martin Hall) buildings on your left and a map of campus on the other side of the road (to the right). At the first (road) intersection you reach, make a left. You should pass a map of the campus and then CSIC is on your right, behind the wind tunnel building. If you get to A.V Williams or the Jeong H. Kim engineering building, you've gone too far.
• Map of the location, nearby parking, and shuttle stops. A complete list of parking lots can be found on the transportation department's site and they can be found on the campus map.

Mini-FAQ

• What's the point?
  • We'd like to build an active community for people in the DC area to show up and informally share geeky stuff. Do you have a tool, a piece of software, a set of scripts, new toy, hardware hacks that you want feedback on? Bring it. Show it. Share! Eventually we'd like to organize a BARCampDC as a weekend-long version of DemoCampDC1.

Demo Schedule

• 4-6x10 minute demos
• Tips for Presenters: Don't just walk through a set of web forms, show us something cool, talk about a hard problem, need some feedback, ask a question

1. Drew - either virtual world mashups or web2.0 security. Any votes?

   virtual world mashups sounds more entertaining for a 10 minute talk

2. Nikolas - Factor clock
3. Philip - an emacs hack
4. How about, mm ... you?
5. Yet another.

Attendees

IMPORTANT: There is no way to contact attendees if there are changes to the event, i.e., location, after location, cancellation, etc. This means that announcements will be made on the BarCamp-DC Google Group, through a variety of RSS feeds and on this page. If you want to stay up-to-date with the RSS feed, try using Randy's R|Mail but this will subscribe you to all BarCamp.PBWiki.com changes not just DemoCampDC2. (sounds like a feature request to David Weekly ;-)

4. Will Holcomb
5. Philip
6. Andrew
7. Philip
