So.. Barcamp Sydney was a great day, hosted at the Australian Technology Park. The unorganisers did a tremendous job, and in true barcamp style the eclectic crowd were very entertained, and entertaining.

A few personal highlights:

• Google Wave introduction by Alex from the local dev team - great to get first hand insights
• A great introduction to #Gov2AU, #publicsphere by @MatthewLandauer and @katska from OpenAustralia, and follow up from @Alegrya
• @maxnippard talking about helicopters and @littlebirdceo explaining Arduino
• @djinoz talking about iPhones vs. Android
• @neerav giving us a review of the latest Android handset
• liked the singing from @stuandrews more than I’ll own up to
• annoyed to have missed what looked like a great typography discussion

Also interested to learn more about @futuresummit.
More than anything else I met some really interesting people, and had some great conversations over beer.
