Baa Camp / Foo Camp
Monday, February 12th, 2007On the weekend of the 3rd and 4th of February I attended Baa Camp (the New Zealand Foo Camp) in Warkworth, an hour north of Auckland. From the website:
New Zealand Foo Camp (aka Baa Camp) is a private gathering of around 150 people from New Zealand, Australia, and the world. Invitees are doing interesting work in fields such as web applications, open source programming, wireless, web services, data visualization and search, geolocation, and all manner of emerging technologies, and are invited to network, share their works in progress, show off the latest tech toys and hardware hacks, and tackle challenging problems together.
It was a very interesting and enjoyable weekend. A big thanks to Nathan Torkington for organising it. Highlights included showing off my appalling frisbee skills, meeting Allan Odgaard of TextMate fame, showing off my appalling Wii bowling skills, and meeting and playing Werewolf with three Charles users; one of whom works just around the corner from my office.
