Web608 Beta

BarCamp is an un-conference; An open format event where programmers, designers and business owners can network and learn.

A BarCamp conference is unlike any other technology conference. Rather than being planned by a committee in advance, each community works together to create its own event. A BarCamp generally has an underlying theme, but the individual topics and sessions are organized shortly before or even at the event. This enables BarCamp to be much more than targeted to the needs of the Madison community.

Hundreds of BarCamp events have been held in cities around the world. Madison and Milwaukee’s BarCamp events attracted over 130 people each and the attention of Wisconsin media.

MadTech is Madison's Nonprofit Technology Group. We're new, started towards the end of last year. We meet, once a month to have topical discussions and or networking opportunities. That's combined with co-sponsorship of other events related to the fields of nonprofits, technology, and social networks. We generally meet, the 3rd Wednesday of the month from 6:30pm to 8pm. Our current meeting location is Goodman Community Center on Madison's Eastside. Anyone with interest, either at the per event level, group level, or social action level can attend our events. Most events will be free. Our February 2009 meeting was held on the 18th and discussed Google Apps. Basic for Nonprofits.Upcoming meetings this year may include: Drupal, FOSS; Facebook for Nonprofits (Profiles, Pages, Groups, and Causes); etc. In addition to the monthly meetings, we also co-sponsor events.

The Web414 group consists of amateurs and professionals interested in building and improving the web today and in the future. We are a diverse group including designers, programmers, publishers, and entrepreneurs - all with a common interest in creating the new web. We typically meet on the second Thursday of the month at 7PM at Bucketworks in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. (Meetings are free, as is membership to Web414, but we do ask people to help contribute to Bucketworks, or join as a member to help them provide a space for us.) The members of Web414 are actively involved in a number of initiatives in the Milwaukee area such as co-working, BarCamps, and MilwaukeeDevHouse.
