This Saturday, April 3rd is BarCamp Orlando, a collection of geeks, coders, technology freaks, artists and entertainers that walk into an empty presentation board and fill it with topics that range from structuring URL’s to coding with Ruby to the state of the Orlando scene (doterati was actually a result of some BarCamp discussions a few years back).

For those that are unfamiliar with the format, a BarCamp is an adhoc conference where there are no scheduled presentations. When the event begins, the audience is given the keys to the city and fill up the speaking board with topics that they want to talk about. You are given about 30 minutes to woo the crowd, engage in a conversation with the audience and make new friends by telling people how smart and cool you are.

I have given 2 BarCamp talks, one here in Orlando and one in Miami and both of them were really exciting. This year, I’ll just be hanging and wooing my way into finding a development team for a covert project (I always seem to have one of those going on).

Peep the super dope trailer below!

The event is free and run by local tech hero Gregg Pollack. The shenanigans happen at the Wall Street Cantina from 9:30am – 6pm.

So if you are up to spitting some game, meeting some friends and learing about some tech stuff come out and enjoy a nice Saturday in downtown O-Town.

If you want to grab a beer, do the cool thing and shoot me a message via Twitter – @g_ro.
