[_] BarCamp: are you coming?

Hi all,

It was good to chat last night at SkillSwap, but when I asked a couple
of people if they were coming to BarCamp, they said "but I'm not
technical!"

The only requirement of attendance at BarCamp is that you give a talk
or lead a discussion. It's not intended to be a Hackday-style utter
geekfest; it's learning about stuff you might know nothing or a little
about but would like to know more.

BarCamp Brighton, for example, had someone talking about how to make a
proper cup of tea...

I hope that clears up some confusion, and I apologise that the
confusion existed in the first place.

There's loads of non-programming stuff I'd love to know more about
(including, but not limited to, monkeying around with digital
DJing/VJing - Dan!), and there are so many ace people around :)

I'd love for it to be somewhat like the Interesting festival that
Russell Davies put together earlier in the year:

Cheers,
