Wikipedia defines the BarCamp as "a un-conference, born from desire to share and learn in an open and free environment. The BarCamp is a non-conference cooperative, where anyone can decide to propose a topic and talk to the other, with the aim of facilitating the free thinking, curiosity, disclosure and the dissemination of the issues related to the web. The un-conference is therefore a meeting where the theme of the discussion is decided by the participants rather than to fixed in advance by the organizers, a open meeting whose contents are proposed by the participants themselves". In a BarCamp you can speak of everything about the web and not only. From the programming languages to the relationship between privacy and new media, from web services 2.0 to the martial arts or the Sociology of mobile phones. But the most significant thing of these un-conferences is that you will never find prominent personalities overpaid or invited of prestige, but only users of web 2.0, in jeans and T-shirt, that, with their laptops under his arm, who agree to be not only spectators, but direct partners. All have something to say, all put their experiences and their thoughts available.
Who take part in a BarCamp will face in groups of persons referred everywhere, with your notebook and other technological objects at hand and all simultaneously connected to WiFi, or assembled in meeting rooms dedicated to the conferences, involving also the contact that aren't present and relaunching the interventions in network via PC or webcam, with Skype’s links or form of Podcasts. From the text on Wikipedia The name "BarCamp" is a playful allusion to the event's origins, with reference to the hacker slang term, foobar: BarCamp arose as a spin-off of Foo Camp, an annual invitation-only participant driven conference hosted by open source publishing luminary Tim O'Really".
