In order to further clarify who does what, we have put together a list of roles and responsibilities for the BarCamp Nashville Crew. If you would like to get involved in planning BarCamp, consult the list as a brief orientation and jump right in by attending the next Crew meeting.

Below are the standing positions for the Crew that organizes BarCamp along with their respsonsibilities. The Chair and Coordinators constitute the official Board of Organizers who share primary responsibility for producing the event. Listed with several of the Coordinator positions are specific Team positions that are essential to creating a manageable work load. In addition to these standing positions, the Crew also consists of other volunteers who attend meetings and contribute to planning and holding the event.

The first organizational meeting will be held on Tuesday June 23rd at 6PM in the Conference Room on the 4th Floor of Cummins Station, 209 10th Ave South, Nashville 37203.

Okay, so I was talking to Chris Lee while setting up the network today and we started talking about customers. The customers that have the best of intentions to be fiscally responsible, but ultimately fall short of that goal by cutting corners. If you have worked in IT, you have had at least one of these customers…

In tradition of BarCamp, we’ve set aside an entire room that is empty for the entire day for folks to sign up day of and speak. ThisCamp will be available for speaker signup in 25 minute increments starting at 9:15 until the last session at 3:15. When you arrive at the event, come all the way down to the end of the hall to the cafe area where you can sign up on a card and stick your session on the board at your preferred time. Want to talk about something that isn’t yet being covered on the schedule? This would be the perfect opportunity for you to do so.

Also, one final note before the event happens tomorrow. Don’t come in the Sommet Center through the normal doors! You’ll want to enter up towards the 6th Avenue side through the doors next to (to the right) the police precinct. I’m attaching a photo below of the doors to enter through. Once you come in, proceed down the elevator or stairs and registration will be there to greet you. Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
