BarCamp was mentioned at the Fun in Atlanta lecture.
For those who don’t remember, Barcamp is an un-conference i.e. an adhoc gathering where everyone (generally) talks on something cool. The sessions are more dynamic and topics range from product/start-up demos, software tutorials, general discussions, how-tos etc. And ofcourse it’s not compulsory to stay all time, but believe me you’d want to! Be prepared to talk about some cool stuff you’d like to talk about or to volunteer (Without talks, barcamp isn’t fun !)
It is a free event but don’t forget to RSVP at this link:

Last year i got a chance to have some liquid nitrogen ice-cream that was made infront of me, learnt poker and some cool more stuff, gave 2 talks (web security, beagleboard) etc. The year before that i got a chance to see the olpc, learnt about firefox 3 (which wasn’t released then) from mozilla developers and saw videos from people working in the commercial space industry (again this time !), gave a talk on code coverage.
