BarCampTexas - The Aftermath
August 27th, 2006 | Published in Misc. | 1 Comment
One of my goals when I started Reinventing Erica, was to make BarCampTexas an event to remember. I think I can safely say that it MOST DEFINITELY WAS!!! Of course, as with all things, there’s always room for improvement.
I’ve spent most of today listening to the recorded audio from yesterday’s presentations. The Catch-22 of being a host at an event like BarCamp, is that you miss a lot of the better discussions and presentations. I caught a bit of Michael Verdi’s presentation on Saturday — but didn’t realize how truly remarkable it was until I listened to it again today 
Of course, I made sure my butt was planted to a chair front and center when WordPress Founding Developer Matt Mullenweg did his presentation entitled WordPress on Rails. I’ll have all the presentations posted somewhere on the web within the next week, so stay tuned for BarCampTexas Yummy Podcast Goodness
So, what about Reinventing Erica? Okay…here’s the deal. I have decided to go forward marking tomorrow as Day 8, and take things from there. Slow and Steady wins the race…and all that good stuff.

You GO GRRRL! I was very impressed with BarCamp this weekend (Nerdfest as my 7 yr old calls it). You did an awesome job! I was very impressed with what you all pulled together on what was basically no budget…with major wrenches thrown in at the last second as well!
Looking forward to seeing the RefreshHouston event next month. Later!
You TOTALLY ROCK!
