[edit] Definition

BarCamp is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants who are the main actors of the event.

We're expecting 50-150 attendees from the neighbouring area and hopefully the rest of Switzerland and Europe. The segment of people will likely be skewed towards the tech crowd. But everybody is invited to participate.

BarCampLausanne are organized by A3 at EPFL, more precisely in Satellite with the help of satellite association.

BarCampLausanne are unique opportunities to gather and mix students, researchers and industries in a very stimulating environment. The BarCampLausanne Gathering aims to give students and professionals an opportunity to get introduced, and who knows: launch some professional collaboration. Not a formal event with ties and suit, the casual and relaxed.

[edit] FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

  • Are there rules?
    • This is Switzerland, there are rules for everything! My very own grandmother will ensure that common decency is upheld at all times. No, just kidding, see TheRulesOfBarCamp for the 'rules'.
  • Can I help out?
    • Yes of course! We need help in organizing the event (finding a venue, sponsors, and good speakers). At the conference, we'll need people who handle registrations, questions, and guard the T-Shirts. Enter your name under 'Participants'. Also, add your e-mail to the list so we have your e-mail addresses.
  • Can I present?
    • Of course! Enter your name in the 'unAgenda'. Drop us a line if you have questions.
  • Can I present in German? What about Schwyzerdütsch? English? French?
    • Anything is fine. Please note your language choice in the unagenda.
  • What can I speak about?
    • Anything! The spirit of BarCamp is that you're free to choose your topic, your language, and presentation style. We're a bit skewed towards the hacker / tech crowd. So far, we've had people ask us whether they can talk about their Web Hacks or the effects of caffeine on humans - of course they can!
  • Do I have to bring in my own OHP, Beamer, Flipchart,...?
    • No, we will have projectors, flipcharts and power supplies. All you have to bring is fun, and optionally your laptop, and your video camera, if you like.
