BarCampGR details for this weekend!!

[Dave Brondsema]

Hey BarCampers and past BarCampers!

We're excited for this weekend!  Do you have some great talks you're thinking
about?  Or not sure what to expect?  Head over to our Slack chat to discuss
ideas, post your own topics, and ask questions.  Sign up for slack at
http://slack.barcampgr.org/  It's a great way to chat and be in touch during
BarCamp, as well as afterwards.

There’s still time to sign up if you haven’t yet - it’s never too late.  In fact
you'll get a special hand-made badge... hand-made by you!!   Just head over to

So, what exactly is happening this weekend?  We're meeting at Calvin University
- until recently known as Calvin College!  Map: http://goo.gl/maps/Mg2HA  The
schedule is here https://barcampgr.org/about/schedule/ but we (you!) fill in all
the talk slots when you show up.  Come and go as you must.  Many folks bring a
laptop; if you're going to present from a Mac, remember to bring a display
adapter. Delicious food, drinks & snacks will be provided throughout the whole
event, including various dietary options. Wondering who gives a talk, and how
you can too?  We've got a page for that too: https://barcampgr.org/participate/

If you want to get there early to help set up, that would be great.  Anytime
between 4:30 and dinner is when we will be setting up.  When you arrive look for
an organizer and they can tell you what needs to be done.

We have a Code of Conduct because we want BarCamp to be safe and welcoming to
all people.  Please take a minute to read it at
