Portland Barcamp

I meant to write about this a while ago, but I went to Barcamp here this year and I'd have to say it was a really interesting event. Lots of discussion about Location based services, some inspiring talk about xmpp, and lots of drupal and openID thrown in the mix. These happen regularly all over the US, so I'd highly recommend checking it out if there's one coming to your neighborhood. Lots of notes and user generated content found at the Portland Barcamp Wiki.
