I went to my first Barcamp which was held in the North East in Newcastle on Saturday 24th to Sunday 25th May. A bit of a cheat really, because I live in Newcastle – so that made it ridiculously easy to go to. I guess I didn’t get the full barcamp experience because I didn’t sleep over at the venue, nor stay up ’till 4.30am. However, I would imagine that each person has a different Barcamp experience based on their expectations, effort at participation and personality type.
