Barcamp and Hackfest

From Open NZ Wiki

Barcamp site

A series of pages to collect and focus the discussions from the Barcamp and Hackfest held in Wellington on Sat 29th / Sun 30th August 2009

This is the agenda as taken from the google calendar. I think there are some bits that changed afterwards. And I might have lost some bits in copying and arranging it. Feel free to correct.

If you want to write up or discuss a session, turn the heading into a link and create a page for that session. So this remains an index page.
