Barcamp SD 4 post mortem
Posted by Dan
Barcamp went off without a hitch, as per the norm and everyone that I talked to had a most excellent time. There was the typical nuissance of there being too many people on one wireless access point (internet slower than preferred, range issues), so conversations were had with some folks about getting our hands on some true enterprise grade wireless (cisco aironet or aruba hardware), that has the capacity to properly load balance and distribute traffic across multiple radios. I did however save a whole bunch of data from the firewall, which was a different configuration than last time. I’ll have a post written up about that on shortly.
Defcamp (the hacking challenge) went off fairly well – the contest is a race to the finish and it was started on Saturday morning – so a handful of people basically holed up in an office and missed barcamp to do the hacking challenges. I’m going to have to work on that. I don’t want people missing out on barcamp because of a prize.
The food was greek this time, and was executed superbly – I think we(barcampsd) made a new friend. Daphnes greek cafe in 4s ranch area – we got a hell of a deal and were promised more of a deal next time around.
Intuit was pleased with our presence and smiled because we left the place cleaner than we found it. There are already talks to have barcamp held there again.
All in all, chalk it up to another awesome barcamp. San Diego’s community is getting a reputation for being awesome and this can do nothing but help us. Keep being awesome, everyone!
Barcamp is upon us!

Greetings campers!
BarCamp San Diego 4 is upon us, this time at Intuit’s campus (link/map) in Carmel Valley.
There are a ton of activities planned for Saturday evening, somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 campers signed up so far on our wiki. It’s happening in the middle of November (the 15th and 16th), so make sure you have no plans!
This season we can only have 250 people total at the event, so if you’d like to come, please make your way to the wiki and add yourself. The venue is using the wiki as the official roster for who is going.
Things are lining up nicely – The planners are getting excited, the sponsors are getting REALLY excited and you should be too :)
here are some pictures of the venue!
