Well its now tuesday night, barcamp manchester was on saturday so by the time you read this you’ve probably already had your fill.. but anyway
I think it was a really good day, although on the day I only sat in one session (and spoke in one session), I met a lot of old and new friends and learned a lot, We as NorthCrew had a good session and won an xbox (even if a bloke from the bbc blamed us for the north / south divide) but we will talk more about that on the northcrew blog when Ryan gives me access to it!
There seems to be a video floating around the internet of me, I believe its called Gravy in yer Servers… I deny all knowledge of it.
I will say on a personal level, having people tell you that they honestly think your doing a great thing for the community and give you ideas and suggestions is an amazing feeling and even the people who had concerns or didn’t find the service useful offered suggestions and ideas… we take each one and talk about them… we will be blogging about a few of them soon (but anyone paying attention to the northpack website will notice that we now have search button (I’m told theres an easter egg in there as well)
As for barcamp Leeds, im unsure what I’m going to be able to do with it this time around, work, northcrew and the missus take up a lot of time :)…
I can say that northcrew has some things up there sleeve but its more local developer / designer focused… *ooooooo** suspense!!
