Thanks Gariela. As far as I'm aware there are no concrete plans
for Barcamps this year other than the upcoming CreativeCamp and
September's Podcamp in Kilkenny. So perhaps in May, June? By the
what does IDC stand for?
Hmm, I'm not sure about AugmentCamp to be honest. 'Augment'
could be applied very generally, couldn't it? I think '3D', as in
'3Dcamp' is a more suitable umbrella terms for the topics I'd like
to see covered - virtual worlds, mirror worlds and haptics. I'm not
so keen on encroaching into 'intelligence' territory, etc, as I
think it would start becoming more inaccessible/academic at that
stage. But that's just my opinion.
Well, in academia we still dream of augmenting it... And we're
not talking Excel or Powerpoint here! Do you ever feel like Jaiku
has diminished your intelligence?! ;-) maybe blame the error with
the washup liquid on it? :P
Sure @coniecto, Barcamp
Limerick should be the working title. But I do
like the idea of focused Barcamps like Podcamp and CreativeCamp so
I just wanted to put out there the kind of focus I personally think
would make for a fairly unique and interesting camp. Another way of
describing what I'd like to focus on might be - 'the internet after
the browser' [not that the browser is going away or anything but
you what I mean....]
@coniecto @festoon, @eirpreneur, takes two! PC's that
is.. but managed to stream SL out http://tinyurl.com/6bua43 this
means you could project and I could do it remotely... instead of
moving the machines would there be a chance of testing this at your
location in UL?

My folks here in the IDC might be interested. Let me spread the word. What month do you have in mind for this?

The Interaction Design Centre - my workplace in UL. People around me work with motes, haptics, 3D simulations...

Wow! Is that a workplace or a playground?! ;-) It would be great if you could get your colleagues involved in this.

Well, we think of it as a playground and we love coming in every day, but the grown ups call it workplace;)

Any ideas for other "topics"?

Why don't we call it AugmentCamp and include all the technologies meant to augment human intelligence?! In the good spirit of Doug Engelbart...

Jayzus, that hurts my brain... My experience is that IT in general diminishes human intelligence...

Ok guys, that was just an idea... I like 3DCamp, but can't we just call it BarCamp Limerick and work on refining the formulation of the topic?!

@coniecto can you make it to blogger coffee in the Marriot this Saturday? It would be great if we could brainstorm some ideas there.

@EvertB if you're interested please come along too. And anyone else.

@Eirepreneur Saturdays are a no go for me. Family commitments. Would be interested in assisting in some way though...
