Foo Camp is an annual hacker event hosted by publisher O'Reilly Media. Event O'Reilly describes it as "the wiki of conferences", where the program is developed by the attendees at the event, using big whiteboard schedule templates that can be rewritten or overwritten by attendees to optimize the schedule; this type of event is sometimes called an unconference. The event started as a joke between Tim O'Reilly and Sara Winge, O'Reilly's VP of Corporate Communications. Sara had always wanted to run a ''foo bar'', an open bar for ''Friends of O'Reilly'', at one of O'Reilly's conferences. That joke morphed into a brainstorm after the dot com bust left O'Reilly with much unused office space in its new buildings, creating the opportunity for Foo Camp.

Tim O'Reilly describes the goal of his company as "changing the world by spreading the knowledge of innovator ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
